Following on from the success of Hennock, I have commenced on a new layout. It is a continuous run of 11ft X 4'6'' based again on British Railways (Western Region). The track plan is similar to Buckfastleigh but has an additional bay platform from which a Southern Region M7 with Maunsell Push Pull set will operate. No name yet but is West Country themed. Track laying is almost complete and wiring will commence shortly
I am the Dorset Area Group Organiser for the 3mm Society. The reason for choosing 3mm is that I can do some real modelling without the distraction of Ready to run models. At present I have a 3mm layout, Hennock, which has been exhibited several times. It is also booked for several shows in the future. Currently I am building another 3mm Layout-Teignford. Please mail me if you have a similar interest,query or wish to convert to 3mm.

Some time since last post
Due to my camera losing it's connecting lead, I have been unable to provide new pix. New camera is now in action but my proficiency with it is somewhat questionable.
On Friday last, I participated in a mini-exhibition at Purbeck Model Railway group at Harmons Cross next to the Swanage Railway line. I took the oportunity to test new camera and I attach some of the results.
Will post on a more regular basis as I also attended the AGM of the 3mm Society on Saturday, 17th May. Ipurchased a Brynkits 2251 Collett kit. This also came with motor and gearbox-a great bargain! Parts to complete ongoing projects were also obtained so there is no excuse to finish those items.
