    Thanks James, I must add that you've almost single handedly brought me back to modelling this year, your first book I already had, but your blog and your N gauge modelling has reignited my want to model again and in N which other than helping with club layouts a long time ago, I've never modelled in before. So a big thank you from me!

      Dave, that is absolutely superb to read - thank you for sharing that thought - I'm glad my modelling, writing and enthusiasm (!) have encouraged you back, and N gauge has such potential for us here in the UK. Best of luck!

    All the best to you and yours for Christmas and the New Year James. Once again, I've greatly enjoyed your blogs this year, always something interesting to ponder. I know a copy of your new book is coming my way on the 25th and I'm very much looking forward to reading it.

    Hi James

    Hope you and yours have a very Happy Christmas and with a break from commissions you get some of your modelling progressed.

    Has been great reading the blog and seeing the videos on YouTube- very inspiring. Have found both your books excellent with many thoughtful ideas

    Looking forward to what you do in 2004

    Best regards

    Alan

    2004 should of course be 2024- started too early on the cooking sherry

    Forgot to say liked very much the "card". What is the inspiration ( seeing the two high stake log cars) and what was the medium for the illustration

      It’s a CP local on the Slocan sub, illustrated based upon a photo using my iPad with Apple pencil in the ‘Paper’ app.
