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.

Pagoda Hut

This view is one that cannot be seen from the front of the layout.
This Pagoda Hut started life as a 4mm scale model. I am not sure of it's origin as I think the Ratio version has windows fitted-any suggestions welcome.
The sides, front and back were cutdown to a scale 3mm size. The roof, which is a one piece moulding was sliced to size with a razor saw, a piece of black plasticard attached to it's base. the walls were painted GWR light stone ,the doors dark stone and the roof matt black.
Sunk into the rise in landscape, I think it captures the look of the prototype and with George waiting outside a bit of life is introduced.

Don't forget to see 'Hennock' at Andover this weekend 3/4 September.
