Hi, it's great to do these books on my own, with complete freedom to create as l like and self publishing is crazy but fun....
and I like keeping it made in the UK.

Book No. 10 is the
most recent book
(Printed in Wales
as usual).
Thanks for clicking on this site. The books are all about keeping mechanical history alive and I love doing the research and finding ways to pass on all the amazing bits of info that I've found out about, in a fun way.
​
I love meeting everyone at the events with my layout as well as the books..Have a look at the events page and watch the youtube videos of me reading a few of the books on some of the pages
Come and see the
ever changing

These books wouldn't exist without the amazing help and knowledge freely given to me by all the wonderful railway enthusiasts
. Don't forget I'm always happy to sign and dedicate your books.
just drop me a line, and I write a little letter in each order.
There are now 10 story books and 1 activity book, the Railway Sketches Book and there are card models too.
