Issue 253 of Model Rail is a special one for me as it contains four of my layouts.
‘Cato Pass’, my sci-fi model railway is first with 4 dedicated pages explaining it very well indeed. I like the way the pictures have a special look to them.
‘Terror Street’ , my Victorian model comes next with 4 pages.
The final two pages cover ‘Dunmovin Mine’, my American HO abandoned mine, and ‘Piddlewick Yard’, my English scrap yard.
Chris Nevard took the pictures over a year ago. Chris Gadsby did the words along with my input. A major thank you goes out to the Model Rail team.
This is a moment of great success for Cato Pass recently. It is currently in two magazines (Railway Modeller is the other one) and has appeared in seven in total, and has just won three awards in the last three shows it has done, claiming six Best in Shows in total so far with 40 shows done, and 142 invites. It has appeared on at least ten web sites. Some of the engines are about to be featured on Channel 5, and of course there are numerous YouTube videos I have put up detailing the construction of all of my models. It has appeared at model shows, Steampunk sci-fi conventions, and even a Toy Museum. It isn’t even three years old yet. So I am very proud of my layout as I’ll never see this level of success again. None of my others have done quite so well in this regard.
Thank you to everyone that supports me and Cato Pass. It really is much appreciated. We modellers need to know if the audience enjoy what we do. So thank you.
