This is my picture library from the GWLTC display in the STEAM Railway Museum back in October. I went off to LegoWorld immediately after and forgot to point out these pictures.

Thanks to Martin Long and Mark Palmer for the use of a tripod to get these shots as it was quite dim in the museum. Other exhibitors were Huw Millington, Chris and Justin Dee and Dean Earley.

The pictures have captions in the title, so they’re best viewed starting with the first one and using ‘next’. This is the preserved Castle class locomotive in the main display hall:


I’m afraid I’ve concentrated mostly on my stuff, but there are a few MOCs which I haven’t added to Brickshelf before.

Brewery building and goods depot:


JCB Fastrac, FIAT New Holland and other tractors. The inspiration for the New Holland was misterzumbi’s brilliant Deutz Agrotron, though mine have a working geared PTO so the seed hopper spins:

The goat is also new.

This has been around a while, but it’s an old BBC Outside Broadcast Unit with a real camera in the back:


My minifig version of the General Lee, with SNOT detail:


My final version of Ivor the Engine - this uses a modified version of the IR train base for the wagon, cut and shut to 16 studs long. It then uses BBB wheels on the IR motor. There’s also a better picture of my version of the Rocket:


The latest rendition of my Caledonian OF-Class shunter - now with extra SNOT and shiny bits, and a glowing firebox:


And some better pictures of my full Royal Train:


There’s also a rough animation:


Here’s the link to the Brickshelf gallery:

(...) --snip-- (...) Great work as usual, Jason. The only one I'm not so keen on is the General Lee. It lacks a little compared to your usual work. Everything else though is lovely. Tim (18 years ago, 15-Nov-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) Hi Jason, There are some excellent details in there. The fencing. The workers here and there. Lots of very thoughtful stuff. I just love the window treatments here: (URL) The tiled lintel looks absolutely fabulous. Best, Jonathan (18 years ago, 15-Nov-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) A pleasure. I also used the above tripod to grab some video footage. If anyone is interested in seeing my short movie of the display, you can download it (URL) here>. It's around 54Mb and about 5mins long. It also has a music soundtrack, so (...) (18 years ago, 17-Nov-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
