Hi everyone,
little bit of history, most probably most of you heard of this gentleman: Roye England, he was in born in Western Australia and moved to England in 1925 on the Liner Oronsay at an age of 18.

I hope the video may reveal the rest and his artistic gift by creating models (1:76) and the inauguration with other expert modellers including scratch building brass locos.

John

Pendon Museum is only about 5 miles from me. Cookeenz will remember me taking him there.

They usually have a display stand at our model railway shows.

@John, great video. ThumpUp (although posted earlier on the forum, see here LINK)

@Alan, the visit to Pendon must have been great, especially with another forum member.

Marco, I had the feeling it was shown before but being a great story and the chap coming from Western Australia originally (the story was printed in the local newspaper on the weekend revealing Roye England came from WA., I took the risk and publish it again.
