Phil Parker: Modelmaker

This gallery shows a selection of models I have built for other people. All are best described as "layout locomotives" - they look fine on a model railway and will work well. I can't claim to create glass case examples, but then these are usually too precious to use and cost a lot more !

I'm not accepting comissions at present, but you can still drop in for a chat at any show I'm exhibiting at.
