Dorset 3mm Scale Model Railway: Hennock

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.

Hennock

Browsing through an SD card the other day I came across these pictures which I think haven't been shown before, the variation in rolling stock may be of interest.
From top to bottom:-
Busy goods yard- note different size milk tanks.

Pannier with freshly painted BR Brake van.It is correct that some lettering on these Brakes did have Black backing.

60ft Collett cascaded from main line duties to branch line use.

Motor vehicles on station forecourt-available from Finney and Smith
