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.

3MM Society West Byfleet 2012

 Mostly pictures today.
There was an increase of the number of members that attended this year- I took most of these pictures at lunchtime when most were enjoying the great catering.
A full set of Society Shops were present together with Worsley Works, Finney & Smith and 3SMR our loyal traders.
There just seem's to be more and more available in the scale and modern technology seems to be creeping in.
Andy Shillito's Wantage Tramway and Hennock were put through their paces with a fair few visiting locos and pieces of rolling stock.
All stalls seemed happy with their day so a successful meeting - who can identify themselves? I'll kick off- I know the camel on Hennock
