Ian Holmes
Ian builds small G scale agricultural layouts, as can be seen on his website, and also works in HO scale. A few photos are shown here, please note that these are not published under the Creative Commons licence and Ian should be contacted via his website for permission to use the images.
Ian's layouts are designed to be taken to shows and conventions, but he lives in the American Mid-West, so, while Stateside show managers are welcome to email via the usual CRM address for exhibition enquiries, the models are not available for exhibitions in the UK.
G scale 18" gauge "Purespring Watercress" (above) is inspired by an actual farm railway in Dorset. Staying with G scale but on a still narrower gauge is "Wold Farm Mushrooms" (below).
A forerunner of the two agrigultural layouts shown above was Whinny Lane, now retired from the exhibition circuit.
In total contrast to the G scale farm layouts Ian also works in HO scale, modelling American diesels.
His latest HO scale creation is Duluth Suburban Yard, an industrial switching layout, seen here while under construction and showing the track plan. The photo will be updated as work progresses.
Ian is also experimenting with T-Gauge
