Another random photo - This time of the Gn15 layout "Black Cat Mine".
A lovely model, I took a series of photographs back in 2017 for a potential magazine feature. The pics turned out OK, and we tried to contact the owner to look at writing some words. All efforts in this direction drew a blank, yes I had picked up the contact details when I took the shots, so the photos have just become something sat on my hard drive.
A great pity, as it was an excellent model.

I think the builder may have been Steve Bennett who sells a range of resin narrow gauge kits for O & G scales. These are sold though a website www.blackdogmining.weebly.com/black-dog-mining-co.html and he also runs a trade stand at specialist narrow gauge exhibitions
Although I don't have an email address for him, there is a contact from on the website,
Hope this may help,

We tried that when I took the photos - no response. I'll have another go though to see if things have changed. .
I believe Steve Bennett was really unwell for quite a while (I know there were problems with being unable to obtain any castings from Black Dog Mining and enquires going unanswered because of this). There was talking (back in 2019) of Howard Martin taking over selling the castings, but the link I found with that announcement now returns a 404 unfortunately.
