A good friend of mine Tony Callaghan, revealed recently that back in the 1970's he was a P4 (1/76 in 18.83 exact scale) modeller. Then more recently due to a house move clear out very kindly gave me his stock that's been in boxes since the late 1970's, 1979 to be precisely -that's the date on the news print everything was wrapped up in!

Here's one of the many wagons, it's built from real wood, it's from pre-laser cut days so probably from scratch! I don't model P4, so swapped out the wheel sets for OO (but keeping the super fine exact scale wheels safely should I ever suffer a flangy aberration).

Tony, whilst he has not dabbled in toy trains for 35 years, is a fantastic photographer of the modern railway scene - check out his online gallery here http://www.railpixtc.co.uk/
