0 gauge

Hello from Essex I have been modelling in 0 gauge for less than a year. Last summer I bought a Minerva Manning Wardle K class loco. The idea at the time was to put it on a low loader and to build a 7 mm street scene to show off a rather lovely row of shops I was able to buy from the estate of a...

Hi All, I thought I’d say hi before I start asking loads of questions. After selling my OO gauge layout several years ago I was suddenly taken with the desire to once again build a layout. Having already modelled in N and OO I decided to go one bigger and try O gauge this time. My original plan...

First EP pics of Heljans Class 50 in 7mm. Price of £699.00 and five liveries from BR blue, NSE, and railfreight.

It's been a while since I've posted anything on here but since I have I've sold most my 4mm fleet and I've jumped up to 7mm. It started with a few beers and next thing I knew I'd ordered a blue Dapol 08, nearly two months on I've got a green one and a blue Class 40, not to mention 2 Class 37's...

As some of you may have realised I have a penchant for these things!! I have two GJH kits which have been much hacked about. I am doing a pair of them, one powered the other a trailer, through wired for pickups and cab lighting. I used one of my GJH ones as a reference for dimensions and came up...
