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.

Bilteeze Building Sheets.

This hopefully shows the method I am using for some buildings for Teignford.
I have cut out the windows and the Bilteeze sheet is then mounted on artists card with a small overlap to mount them later.
Individual walls are then glued to the back of the sheet with a 45degree mitre at each edge. When the building is folded up, hopefully the corners will be at right angles!
Then the windows will be opened out and the rebates painted matt black to give a bit of depth.
The windows will then be glued behind the recess.
Thats the theory anyway- will have to see how it turns out. One thing- I have some black card which will be used on the next building so that will cut out the painting bit. Why didn't I think of that first?
