Hello
Welcome to the Kitten Engineering website. 

Hi My Name is Keith Welcome To My Website.

I have been Model Engineering from when I started my Toolmaking apprenticeship in 1976 with Matchbox toys. Two years after I completed my apprenticeship, Matchbox toys was sold and all manufacturing done in the far east. I got a job with Jack Odell at his newly started toy company Lledo in Enfield. 

Why Kitten Engineering well the K in kitten is for Keith and one T is for Taylor and the N is for Nobbs, Engineering, well everything is engineered, I've been meaning to make a website for ages but never got round to it.

On this site you will find photos and information on projects that have been made and are in the 
process of being made. 
My first project was 5 inch Gauge Lion which was started 46 years ago. The current project is the LMS Jubilee
