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.

Finney & Smith LSWR/WD Brake Van.

 This kit is from F&S, made for them by Cambrian.
It depicts a LSWR Diagram 1545 & 1549 Brake Van and with some modification can depict other companies stock.
The kit has been finished in unfitted Grey and markings are from 3SMR transfer sheets produced exclusively for them by Modelmaster.
The kit is probably not a first timer but goes together well, the only additions are the handrails which have been made from .33mm brass wire and fitted into pre drilled holes.
Finished with a grey undercoat from a spray can and the chassis hand painted with Weathered black and the whole lot coated with Matt varnish after the lettering was applied.These large photos really show my defects, seems a good idea to take some shots whilst under construction.
