Dorset 3mm Scale Model Railway: Bournemouth Model Railway Exhibition.

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.

Bournemouth Model Railway Exhibition.

For a few days you will be regaled with pictures of the Bournemouth Model Railway Exhibition as organised by the Dorset group of the 'N' Gauge Society.
Good weather meant that the layouts remained dry as they were unloaded into the spacious halls.
I helped with John O'Dells Rghinefied which was as different to my layout as could be. Precision engineering there!
Food was good- one of the best bacon baguettes I have had- and hot too!
More next time. Till then enjoy the pictures of Nigel Cullimores St Agnes.
