Less is more

Better to have a little of excellence than an abundance of mediocrity.

Finescale with feeling

I am not the most prolific of modellers, but once in a while I do get on with it. Not being shy about having opinions, you are more than likely to see my views expressed here, rather than modelling per se.

“Finescale with feeling” is my own phrase, in an attempt (quite possibly a pretentious attempt) to reconcile fidelity to prototype with the warmth that comes from a love of the subject matter, rather than the production of a perfect but sterile recreation of the real thing. I see nothing wrong with trying to get things right, but one has to know when to stop – usually when the engineering tolerances produce human intolerances. Where this lies for any individual, only they can say, and no one can judge: least of all me.

Modelling wise, I am gradually regaining my focus: I have acquired the famous East Lynn S scale layout (available for exhibitions – contact me the end of the sidebar), and also re-acquired my original S Scale layout from the mid 1990s, “Sulgrave Manor” (better known as “Llanfair” after it passed on to the late John Coulter in the late 1990s) as a layout on which to run and test my small collection of EWJR locos (2), coaches (3) and wagons (quite a few more!)
