Modelling Heavy Industry

Arthur Ormrod has had a lifelong interest in railways and railway modelling. He was brought up in west Manchester surrounded by railway and industrial activity and found the local industrial railway systems a source of endless fascination. In the early 1970s he worked at two British Steel Corporation plants, which left him with an abiding interest in the history and operations of the iron and steel industry. Arthur now incorporates the modelling of large industrial structures and industrial systems into his general railway modelling activities.
