WELCOME TO DONCASTER - A MODERN IMAGE MODEL RAILWAY BASED ON THE EAST COAST MAINLINE IN YORKSHIRE
|
Doncaster is my model railway. It is an attempt to recreate, in OO gauge, the modern ECML (including Doncaster station itself) in and around Yorkshire. A full description of the layout can be found by clicking on "Description" immediately to the left of this page. Otherwise, the site consists largely of photographs of the layout and the trains that run on it. I do hope you enjoy your visit. Should you have any questions or comments, please contact me via the appropriate link. You might also like to see some recent developments at Doncaster on my other website; http://www.freewebs.com/doncasterblues; I hope you enjoy it.

The welcome return of Class 56 superpower to the ECML. Jarvis' 56 302 throbs away at Doncaster Depot

The locomotive was stripped using Precision Paints model stripper and then brush painted with acrylic paints from RailMatch. It was completed with transfers from the Fox's range. The front end grill and aerials were from the A1 range (who also supplied replacement grills, which, I'm afraid, I was too nervous to fit). The paint stripper, paints and transfers are availabe from Fox's (www.fox-transfers.co.uk) and the grills, aerials and other etched enhancements are from A1 models (available from M.G. Sharp on www.mgsharp.com); the replacement lights are LEDs from my spares box. The project took only a few hours (spaced apart to permit drying). 56 303 is currently in works and should be released to traffic before long. Further pictures of this locomotive can be found in More Pictures III.
