I have been trading in Vintage Trains and associated items for over 20 years on a professional basis and collecting for over 40 years. My interest has been in ‘O’ Gauge from Hornby, Bassett Lowke, Mills, LMC and other commercial manufacturers. I am also a keen collector of British outline Gauge 1 Bing for Bassett Lowke and Carette Locomotives and rolling stock.

More recently, I have been collecting models produced by James Stanley Beeson 1906-1990, so I am always interested in talking to anyone who can broaden my knowledge or wants to talk about models, details, periods, etc. This is a fascinating subject with only one written book, and now it is over 20 years old. More information and models have come to light since the publication.

Since trading full-time, I take great pride in finding high-quality, rare and exciting items we photograph, catalogue and then pass on to collectors worldwide. I have photographed a few items, which you will see on a rolling slide on the main page. I hope you will find them of interest.

If you have any questions, please email me.
