I have been interested in model railways since my first trains set was bought for me by my dear departed grandad Frank 'Charlie' Kidd.

Having been born and bred in Sheffield, I am now living in a small flat on the Isle of Wight. As such I am now constructing my first ever model railway that can be taken apart, stored, and rebuilt again. As such I am aiming to display and operate the layout on the exhibition circuit of the Isle of Wight

This site is designed to show off the progress of construction and some of the proposed models to operate on the layout, Skipsey.
