David Smith is an experienced and talented modeller of Southern EMUs and Southern Electric/Diesel locomotives. They are built out of a variety of materials, part scratch built, part converted from RTR stock (though not from model sources you would necessarily expect). In these two pages we showcase just a few of the models David has built over the years. |
