Hennock was inspired by my eldest daughter whilst sat on the platform of Staverton Station in Devon.
In an effort to get away from Ready to Run I chose 3mm scale to model this layout having previously exhibited a large Tri-ang TT layout. I hope the ramblings that all to frequently appear will be of use to you no matter what scale!
The track diagram shows a simple passing station with a couple of sidings. All track is PECO Hom-12mm gauge with turnouts operated by the wire in tube method. Control is provided by Gaugemaster HH with feedback.
Locos are mostly whitemetal kits running on etched chassis powered by Mashima 9/16 motors with Branchlines 40:1 gearboxes. Wheels are Markits with the latest 3mm Society products being introduced.
Coaches consist of Society 'B' Sets and coaches from etches by Worsley Works, Brynkits and 3SMR. A vast range of wagons are from the 3mm Society list with Finney and Smith providing the China Clay , Gunpowder and a few etched kits.
Hennock has appeared in Railway Modeller and Model Rail.

The Bachrus Saddle

 This piece of equipment is an absolute boon to those of us not able to have a continuous run layout.
Available from Finney and Smith-see link, this particular set can be used for 'n' Gauge up to '0' Gauge (Just). The basic set comprises of three saddles designed to attach between the rails of your chosen track- I have made a couple of plinths, one with 12mm track and the other with 16.5mm  00 gauge track.
The saddles come with a designated allen key and a couple of spare grub screws. Simplicity itself to install and use, the lower photo shows a Pannier being run in, I can keep an eye on it should it stall whilst running in front of me on the workbench. Highly Recommended!
