Hi All,
Me and my father have been manufacturing bits for garden railways to sell as part of our main design and engineering company. I have asked and was told it would be ok to post a link on here
It is all for garden railways to 16mm scale (mostly 32mm gauge at the moment) but there is also some N gauge rolling roads on there to.
Everything is designed in house on Cad and assembled here to.
Hope you like the site. Its still a little bit of a work in progress at the moment. For the moment here are a few teaser photos to wet your appetite.
If you like what you see please visit us at www.porterhousemodels.co.uk
Best wishes
Colin

The loco frame is a good idea provided it extends to hold a good range of locos.
The crane caught my eye as it would be a useful bit of kit but I would like to see the 3D printing finished off a bit better. At 1:19 ish scale this would be clearly visible.

The frame is only avalible for smaller accucraft locos such as Edrig, Mortimer, Ragleth and Cardiac at the moment. There is plans to do other sizes of loco frames. We are planning to measure some locos up on saturday at the Peterborough show. We did look at making them so they could be extended but it caused problems with how well the locos stayed in when rolled over.

The crane looks very nice. Of course, I have to cause the corresponding number of accidents to make it worthwhile for doing salvaging on the K&NWLR, but based on my record that shouldn´t be difficult. ;)

You´re presumably referring to Cardiac Briefbreath of Arthurian legend? As opposed to his brother Caradoc Briefbras, whose arm was shortened in a story involving a snake, a tub of vinegar and a golden nipple. And you think I make these things up ....Snailrail:99047 wrote:Where do I get an Accucraft Cardiac ?Colinjamesporter:99040 wrote:The frame is only avalible for smaller accucraft locos such as Edrig, Mortimer, Ragleth and Cardiac
Sounds ideal for those of us with heart disease :lol:

All of them................ see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porterhouse_Blue if the penny hasn't dropped................Colinjamesporter:99059 wrote:Which ones?MDLR:99057 wrote:Are the models available on blue?
It would make the "Cardiac" name for a locomotive all the more fitting :lol:TTHLRMatt:99067 wrote:Are you referencing to the Tom Sharpe Novel by any chance Brian?
But that shouldn´t distract from the fact that I really want the snowplough "made by Porterhouse" for Easter :o
P.S. Just arranged to pick one up at Peterboro.
