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.

Not another 'B' Set!



After aquiring another 3mm Society kit, I hope
to have improved on my previous efforts.
These photos show how far I have gotten,
taken a couple of evenings to get this far. I
already have the bogies made,having relieved
Nigel of the set off his. I hope this shows how
easy it is to make the excellent 3mm Society kits.
I find it a lot easier than wrestling with digital
cameras-haven't mastered the new Olympus yet.
Suddenly a good picture pops up then it's back
to normal.
Also, I havent a clue how to organise the posts,
the pictures seem to have a mind of their own so
please excuse the seemingly random layout of the posts.
