About This Web Site

This website records progress (usually slow, sometimes in completely the wrong direction) on my motorised model bus project. After many years of intermittent investigation I have amassed a variety of information about the Faller Car System and since there is a dearth of such information in English on the Internet it seemed a good idea to try to make it readily available.

Naturally in building a layout set in a given location and period, and having an interest in Midland Red I have built up information on related topics, hence you will find listings of die-cast models in Midland Red livery and various other related topics.

Bear in mind that these pages are not official pages of any organisation and their accuracy cannot be guaranteed.

If you wish to take issue with anything on this website or have information or photographs that you think might be of use then please contact me by email by clicking  .

I am particularly interested in:

  • Any Midland Red and WMPTE vehicle information or photographs from 1975/6.
  • Photos of/information on the real vehicles on which die-cast models are based.
  • Photos of die-cast models that don‘t have any on their listing page.
  • Information and photos on British Rail in the Walsall and Lichfield area in 1975/6 (but not the EMUs).
  • Faller Car System information or unwanted vehicles (well, I can hope).
