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.

Shop update!


The lower part of the bays have been fitted. Made of strawboard and internally braced, these will eventually have the glazed portion added.
Must look out the Canopy Glue to do this. It sticks most things together on buildings such as this and has the advantage that it dries clear.
Whilst waiting for this to set thoughts turned to the roof.. A piece of card was cut to size and slated with some graph paper from an exercise book obtained in Majorca some time ago. OK- the squares are 4mm but once applied don't look too bad. At least they are easy to cut and fit, no marking out for a
change plus once painted the difference won't notice too much.
Recieved more details of Teignfords next show at Blandford- take a look at the list to the left.
