Welcome. You have arrived at Charles' website. This site is dedicated to all those interested in model railways. Whether you are a complete beginner, a collector, or you just like running model trains, you should find something of interest through this site. Can we immediately point out to you that 'Somscot Railway Modelling' is not a business. This is purely the name chosen for this website which has been set up on behalf of an active hobbyist.

Model railways ( like their original prototypes ) is such an enormous subject that it is impossible to know the whole subject completely. It is not the intention of this website to provide 'in depth' information on model railways. If this is your requirement then follow the links from our links page to visit some 'official' sites. The purpose of this website is to point interested parties to a wealth of model railway information through our links page. Also, along the way, we would like to use this opportunity to show how Charles may be able to help you regarding any specific needs you may have on the subject.

Charles has for many years enjoyed the pleasure involved with model railways and radio controlled boats. Like many of us Charles is a collector, particularly of early Hornby. It is in the search for these items that he sometimes acquires whole collections, when those items not required are completely renovated and sold at reasonable prices to other little boys of his age group.
