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.

Grounded Van Body.


Lack of time has precluded me from furthering this piece of scenery.
Weathered with the materials used at our Weathering tuition by Tom Rayer, the area needs a lot more clutter.
Because of impending exhibitions it has only been possible to locate the van body, this is mounted on coffee shop stirring sticks suitably narrowed to look a little more believable.
Sorry about the poor enlargement- done in haste before storing Hennock.
Work on Teignford is continuing with the possibility of using the N gauge signals introduced by Dapol recently. I have purchased one and am looking at the siting at the platform end- and no I don't thing Hennock will be having one of these, too much remedial work would be needed.
