CALOOCAN RAILWAY WORKSHOPS

APRIL 2018

 A look at the fascinating Caloocan railway workshops in Manila.

 Taken during my visit in April, it is a bit rough as I mistakenly entrusted my son to do it while I took the still shots.

  However, after two days of editing, I have come up with something marginally acceptable (I think) and decided to show it on here.

Coming Soon On My 

Youtube Channel

We look at historic stations north of Manila.

TUTUBAN YARD - APRIL 2018

With some massive changes planned for the railways of the Philippines, I set about covering a lot of the current scene around Manila.

 Thank you to the 'Philippine National Railways' for their help in granting permission to get a historical record for the future.

  A lot more to come as we visit more yards and depots, long closed historic stations and a few old signalboxes.

Stay tuned

PHILIPPINE MODELLERS DINNER.

  Last night I had the honour of dinner with all my friends in tge local railway modelling group.
This time we met in a restaurant in Makati.
Greatest bunch of people you could dream to meet.
  Inspiration is unavoidable when hanging out with these guys.
  Maraming salamat.

This model in a work in progress by Reynante.

I think this has so much potential for more models.

The train you have when not having a train.

A bit like the Sydney based preservation messiah you have when not having a preservation messiah.
