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.

Cattle Dock.

 You may remember my building the cattle dock with help from Adrian Vaughan.
Well, to refresh you ther is a picture to the right of how it looked when first stuck in place after completion.
It did look-well-grey. So out with the dirty paint and after what seemed like an eternity -plus some cows- this is how it turned out.
The bases of the cows will be disguised with some straw (plumbers hemp) so should blend in.
The other thing that needs adding is water troughs-I have the dimensions.
