A message to all of the followers of the OO Duo. We are incredibly sad to have to post that Gaz lost his fight against cancer on Wednesday evening 17th September. Oldcastle was his sanctuary over the past 18 months since his diagnosis, and being able to work on it with his daughter Ivy brought him so much pride and joy. Thank you for all of your support, we are devastated. From Claire (the wife)

The class 60 is an absolute beast. So heavy! Perfect paintwork, superb engine room detail… Wow.
Seriously can’t wait to receive my Accurascale UK class 89 from Rails Of Sheffield!!

Morning all!

What better way to start your Sunday than with a new video from the OO Duo?!! 😬

Big shout out to all of our supporters who bought us a milkshake this week! The showing of support and generosity from people the world over has just been mind-blowing!

So, determined to have a good day today, Ivy has taken us to our favourite donut/milkshake spot Whocult Coffee + Donuts (One of my greatest/guiltiest pleasures!😂)

We have started work on a new video, done a bit of scenery, and we’re about to head out to a local model exhibition… in Margam Park, South Wales. Organised by Porthcawl Railway Club and MIB Models

It’s a good day!
