Free: Ocean Liners DiagramJune 12, 2025Club Member John Edwards writes:
My late friend Chris was a great fan of Ocean Liners. He was in touch with the author of a book on liners, an authority apparently, John Maxstone-Graham. It is the author’s signature on this framed picture depicting 20th Century ocean liners of various nations, a time chart of the principal ships from Titanic onwards. I have absolutely no spare space on the walls of my small flat and wondered if a SRCMBC member might like to have it?
I do not have the picture at present but it can be passed on to anyone interested.

Brian Severn’s Models for SaleFebruary 13, 2025(Click on the thumbnail above to see photos of the model on Setley Pond and Brian’s notes about the model. Nearly all the models have sold since this advert was first displayed in April 2024, illustrated is the one now remaining)
Scale Captain Charles Chambers writes:
I recently visited Mrs. Brenda Severn to photograph her late husbands models so that they can be offered for sale. I know Brian was known to a number of the long-standing members of the Club and his models may be familiar to you?
All the models are scratch built in wood using the plank on frame method, they are highly detailed with interiors. Brian was an engineer by profession so certain parts of the builds are very intricate. For example the paddle wheels on the two paddle steamers are made of metal and are “feathering”. They all have electric motors installed (some with twin set ups), although the radio control electronics are dated (27MHz/40MHz) and would probably require replacing.
Brian spent many years designing and then building a twin cylinder steam plant for the Duchess of Kent paddle steamer, I don’t know if it has been run but it is a wonderful piece of engineering in it’s own right. The steam plant and paddle steamer are to be sold together since this would make a great project and complete the vision that he obviously had.
It is fair to say that they are all in need of cleaning, TLC and in some cases restoration as Brian passed away over two years ago and due to his illness the models were untouched for several years prior to then.
The models are in Redlynch near Salisbury for viewing and purchase. I have indicated guide prices for each model based on my experience, condition and the model desirability. Cash is the preferred form of payment.
