Explain why or give more details in a comment below.
Andy is a lifelong modeler, writer, and founder of modelrailwayengineer.com. He has been building model railways, dioramas, and miniatures for over 20 years. His passion for model making and railways began when he was a child, building his first layout at the age of seven.
Andy’s particular passion is making scenery and structures in 4mm scale, which he sells commercially. He is particularly interested in modelling the railways of South West England during the late Victorian/early Edwardian era, although he also enjoys making sci-fi and fantasy figures and dioramas. His website has won several awards, and he is a member of MERG (Model Railway Electronics Group) and the 009 Society.
When not making models, Andy lives in Surrey with his wife and teenage son. Other interests include history, science fiction, photography, and programming. Read more about Andy.
Not sure about my favourite part but I detest ballasting.
Historical research when designing my next layout, a trip down memory lane.
I like making OO gauge buildings but I’m rubbish at it, does that count?
I built my first railway aged 14 – 40 year ago sigh! Found that I liked the smell of sawdust when cutting up the wood for the baseboard and became a carpenter because of it. Still enjoy making baseboards all these years later.
Hills and tunnels for me.
