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.

Who is looking?

Daily I am amazed at the level of interest shown in a 3MM scale specific blog!
Looking at the countries that view my humble ramblings, some come as a surprise. I have already mentioned Afghanistan and Iraq but recently there seems to be an interest from Sweden. Is this because of a resurgant interest in Agnetha Faltskog (the blonde one) and the release of her new album?
Conversely word has spread from eastern countries that have an interest in things 3mm.
I would be interested to know as I want to discuss those things that interest and inform not blindly pour forth my own preferences. I don't like publishing forums but if you have any thoughts please post on 3mmscale@hotmail.co.uk This will be an experiment and will be withdrawn if misused.So lets get interactive!
