Dorset 3mm Scale Model Railway: Mogul and Mk1 Coaches.

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.

Mogul and Mk1 Coaches.

After completing the Mk1 rake, it is only natural that there should be some indulgant pictures of them!
Set on Teignford, I hope that these shots illustrate how far the layout has come since the initial postings.
Am I pleased with the results? Only time will tell and the reaction to the viewing public which has always been my benchmark. It doesn't matterwhat I think, it is the comments of the viewing public that counts.
Head on the block time approaches as Teignford debuts in it's, hopefully, completed form.
Comments are gratefully recieved so here's your chance!
