This was built and weathered by Martyn Welsh and own by John Wilson of Perth Western Australia. Very nice John thanks for letting us see it. This is not the same as the Auto coach that Lionheart is doing which is a 70ft one and would run with the steam railmotors. They ran well into the 50s. We had two at Leamington Spa on the Stratfords. Ive added two of my Dia L built by us and painted by Alan Brackenborough for Fred to see.
Well its with great pride that we picked an award up for our apprenticeship scheme. Well done gang - lets try again next year. Also this week saw lots of work on the Royal Scot and a new visitor. Photos are by Keith Langton Thanks Keith for your support.

Roger Manton weathered 3 new locos ready for the Leamington.We are now starting to add the diesels.Yes there are other locos but ours for Leamington have to be right so that means JLTRT.
At last we have a web site for our real railway company so if you wish to keep up with it here it is www.lnwrheritagecompanyltd.com Hope this is of use. Pete
Mark Vrettos’ blog the other day showed the main part of 6634 which is being put together by the guys at the SVR. Here’s the part we’re doing at LNWR which will give you a good idea of why steam locos cost what they do. Also the Garrett moves on….. the wheels are back and the header is removed from the boiler.
Heres the new JLTRT TTA I think this shows how far 0 gauge has come
Just four months ago we had 20 apprentices who had never worked and seemed to be in the same position as so many of our young. But now we have a great team who have now built the first part of the Garratt and here are the photos. Thanks to all of them and the trainers. We may see the loco back this year.
Guys……help us out !
I have found out that wagons are more confusing than I would have thought as there is far less info available than you would think. The Paul Bartlett site is fantastic for photos, and god bless him for doing it, but we do need all the help we can get. We want to get it right , we dont want to compromise, we do not do that IF WE GET IT WRONG WE WILL PUT IT RIGHT . Of course we do get things wrong with a range as big as ours - we’re bound to, but if you see somthing let me or Laurie in Scotland know. We are re- doing the 12t shock van as we made it 7mm too long.
We want to get it right so that we can all get better models. SO HELP US TO HELP YOU.
Saturday the 31st of April saw me opening their new turntable . I was only there for a couple of hours as I was on my way to Melrose in Scotland.
