Slugworth & Co. in Railway Modeller


My son Joshua's layout features in Railway Modeller (May 2022)!

I'd actually been suggesting he write an article since he won an award in the Dave Brewer challenge at the 2018 EXPO-NG. However, only when the editor Steve Flint got in touch to suggest an article did he decide to - and even then with some help and encouragement! The article tells why he built the layout and the thinking behind its design, as well as how. 

The article points out that Slugworth & Co. will be at Narrow Gauge South exhibition in Eastleigh this Saturday (as will my layout Loctern Quay). Do say hi if you see us. If you are looking for the boy in the photos in the article, it is surprising how much he has grown in the three and a half years since he finished the layout...

Good to see you / Loctern Quay and Joshua / Slugworth & Co at Narrow Gauge South yesterday! Both layouts looking even better in the flesh than they do on the blog. Mind you, I think it's Dad that needs to update his photo even more than Joshua :-). Thanks for all the inspiration.

Ah, yes, I guess that's true! Thanks for the kind words Stuart.
