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.

Here we go again!

 Here we go again! Oh no not another building ! Well this is the local shop/Post Office which will be on the corner of the cross roads between boards 2 and 3.
Top photo shows the rough template of the footprint and one of the sides already marked out.
The lower pictures show it all cut out and stuck together. I must confess at this point that I have made it the wrong way round- should have marked the template TOP!
Still, all is not lost because with a little bit of realigning of the lane, this will fit. This saves me having to redo the whole marking and cutting out process again.
 The rounded corner has been enabled by scoring the card on the inner surface halfway through in a V shape and using UHU to glue it together. All walls have been painted matt white and the window surrounds matt black- this highlights the white window framing- no double glazing yet!
