Model Engineering - Railway Locomotives and Rolling Stock

I enjoy improving new, and refurbishing old, workshop machine tools and making jigs and fixtures but nearly all this model engineering effort is towards the end of building 7mm scale (O Gauge) railway locomotives and rolling stock. Some examples with images, prototype notes and construction details are given here.
