Please Note

This website is not being updated - it is really only kept as a placeholder for the old Winson Owners Website.  I am leaving the information up here as a resource for anyone who might find it useful.  FYI, the last time I edited the site was in August 2018 when I checked/fixed/edited one or two of the links.

HOWEVER, if you are looking for the files that used to be on this website I have some good news for you.  You can find them here:

https://web.archive.org/web/20030501021055/http://www.fraserker.com:80/winson/

The 'Wayback Machine' web.archive website keeps snapshots of the web going back to around 1996 so the contents of many old website can be obtained from here.


Baldwin Owners

Nicholas Crook wrote to me on 9th August 2004 thus...

"Dear Nigel,

I am now very happy to tell you the Baldwin I acquired last year, after a year of "tinkering" and modifications, is now successfully hauling passengers at my local track. I hope the attached photo keeps the inspiration going.

I would be more than happy to help any fellow owners.

Regards,

Nicholas Crook

45xx Owners

John Baskett wrote to me on 6th March 2004 thus...

"Dear Nigel,

...I am now pleased to tell you that after much design modification & testing I have finally now steamed the loco for the first time & completed several circuits of my local track. I would be delighted to offer any advice to any other builder who may be encountering their own problems. Please see the attached pic taken during the first run.

Regards,

John Baskett" 020 8462 7028

CONTACTING MODELWORKS
You can now contact ModelWorks (the new owners of Winson Model Technology) by e-mailing them on info@modelworks-int.com or click
the graphic below to be taken to their web site at 
www.modelworks-int.com

Their address is: ModelWorks International Ltd, 3 Riley Close, Royal Oak Industrial Estate, Daventry NN11 5QT Telephone: +44 (0)1327 301030


Purpose of this Web Site
This is a privately run web site* for the owners of kits produced by Winson Model Technology Ltd and ModelWorks International Limited.  Its aim is to publish information for the assistance, convenience and interest of Winson's former and ModelWorks' current and future customers.  If anyone has any information (or knows where it can be obtained) that they think could be useful, please would they send in their suggestions by e-Mail.  It would also be interesting to hear from anyone who has any ideas about how this site can be improved.


Contributions needed from YOU!
The usefulness of this website is proportional to the amount and diversity of  information contained within it.  An important source of information is of course the owners of Winson models themselves.  The house magazine 'Fastrack' used to provide an excellent source of this sort of information but has not been published for some time.  Therefore, please consider writing an article or submitting build photographs about your Winson model for inclusion in these pages.  From the feedback that I have already received I know that people will appreciate your experience.  I can accept text in just about any format and photos preferably in .JPG or .GIF formats.  If you want to contribute, or even just considering it, please send an e-mail to nigel@fraserker.com.


Dedication
This site is dedicated to my long suffering wife Fenella who now feels that the only way to get a response from me is to send me an e-mail with the word 'Winson' in the subject line!
