March 2022: I am pleased to announce some additions to the Eastleigh Model Rail range. The 2 car and 4 car Steel Sub and 2 Wim Southern Railway/BR Southern Region Electric Multiple Units have now been joined by 2 car and 4 car EPB sets. Each of these has optional housings to fit Hornby, Black Beetle or Branchlines motor bogies. If EMUs are not your thing, there is a range of Isle of Wight passenger coaches (ex-SECR and ex-LBSCR). For full details of these models, please see the EMR website at https://www.eastleighmodelrail.co.uk. For ordering details, please see https://www.cwrailways.com/eastleigh-model-rail.html.
August 2021: I am pleased to announce the launch of a new product range designed by Eastleigh Model Rail and printed by CWRailways (Chase 3D Ltd). The first items to be made available are 4mm scale kits of Southern Railway/BR Southern Region Electric Multiple Units. For full details of these models, please see the EMR website at https://www.eastleighmodelrail.co.uk. For ordering details, please see https://www.cwrailways.com/eastleigh-model-rail.html.
May2021: A quick update to confirm that I am still here! It appears that there were problems with my e-mail provider during March and April, so if you have had difficulty getting through recently, do please try again.
I continue to modify the 009 loco bodies to suit the Kato 11-109 and 11-110 chassis. If you are interested in one that doesn't yet show as updated, please ask.

Recent Updates
Kato Motorized Chassis: 009 modellers will probably be aware that the Kato 11-103 and 11-104 chassis have been discontinued and are to be replaced by the 11-109 and 11-110 respectively. It is my understanding that the new chassis will be of the same overall dimensions and should therefore be useable with models designed to fit the earlier versions. I will be able to confirm this when my first evaluation order arrives. Customers who have already received theirs say the new motors are a great improvement over the previous models for controllability and slow running.
February 2020: Removal of some discontinued items from the website. Please ask if you are unsure of availability.
