I've never seen that one. Thanks!

The guys who built those 1:32 scale Shays and chain drives are Robert Stephens and Roger Russell. Stephens dropped out of the hobby around 1995, sort of disappeared around 1997 and, as I just discovered from a Google search, died in 2013.

Roger is in poor health but, between then and now, built three or four layouts in scales ranging from 1:64 (Sn3) to 1:32 (1n3). He also detailed or rebuilt some S and O scale locomotives and, if I recall correctly, a few years ago scratchbuilt a 1:32 scale Shay. I have no photos of the Shay. I published whatever photos Roger sent of his other models and layouts. I'll send him an e-mail and hope he's in good enough shape to reply.

Am I right in thinking that Roger Russell lives in Floridia ? If so I believe I paid him a visit back in 2004 with Brian Nolan and had an hour or two viewing his layout and models . I did take pictures but am darned if I know where they are .

there you go somewhere I also have a picture of a kitbashed industral steam loco by Robert Stephens somewhere pipes and valves everywhere if I remember on a Roco chassis.So on my rummage to find pictures I also came across this Deutz 1/32 n20.the chassis was made by the Model Company of Australia and I made the body and finished it.i don't know if the Model Company is still in business but in there day made first-class products even if they took a long time.

Kim, was that loco in either of the 1:32n2 layout articles you sent me? If not, you built one similar. As great as the layouts were, your bashed critters were every bit as impressive. I loved those articles. -- Russ

Hi Guys

yes, The Model Works Australia is very much still in business and continues to supple a range of 1:35 or 1:32 scale collector models as well as custom building brass models in 48th, 7mm, 1:35 & 1:32 scales.

have fun & stay cool

morning all.
I will continue along with the heading SouthCreek for a while as long as I still am doing 1/35 scale on 9 mm track.so I have been fiddling around with some more stuff this time a turnout using Peco 9 mm set track and building a small flat car the 1on 1 scale would be 2.4 meters long[8 foot] by 1.2 meters wide [4 foot]. the signal arm on the flat car is a standard gauge arm in 1/32 scale.
cheers kim

both car and turnout look appropriately worn. signal flag looks like it's on the way back from the "shops".

hi more likely the signal arm has been stolen and put on eBay.
