Peter’s passion for model fun
Peter Bateson chuckles to himself when he sees people admiring his model trains. “They are made from pet food tins and the wheels are the lids off fish paste jars," he says. “I made the GWR Dudley Castle locomotive and LMS Royal Scot around 20 years ago. “They were entered into Sutton Coldfield's Model Railway Society's exhibition at Fort Dunlop in March 1987 where they won the chairman's prize. “It took me two years to make them but now no-one ever sees them. For a while I had them on the top of the dresser at home, but they were just collecting dust." Over the years, Peter, 72, from Sedgley has made a medieval castle, a pirate ship, Noah's ark, a circus truck, a zoo, a Gloster Gladiator aeroplane, a Bugatti racing car, a lighthouse, a gipsy caravan, Elvis's Graceland, the Queen Mary and a 1909 Rolls Royce.
