2mm

Having been a long term lurker, I think it could be time to repay the wit and wisdom I've enjoyed over the last few years. Ultimately my intention is a very early 70's piece of Liskeard station, currently derailed by a lack of space and a stock building crusade! This winter has so far been...

Scale Model Scenery.co.uk have recently launched a new, expanding, range of un-wrapped kits. These are designed to allow you to add an individual finish to the buildings, using either paper, embossed plasticard, or simply paint. The kits are either low-relief, or full-bodied, and are supplied...

I've started a new 2mm finescale project I'm going to call Greenacres Pass. The name, like the layout is completely freelance. Greenacres being the residential area of Oldham where I grew up and Pass because, well, its just a double track mainline passing a private siding leading to an industry...

For over thirty years I was in the licensed trade, running pubs, hotels & restaraunts. Consequently I had no time at all for modelling. Three years ago, I managed to get out of thetrade and discovered some of the things that I had been missing, like weekends, evenings. A bit like a battery...

Hello all. My name is Ian Smeeton, a returnee to the hobby a few years ago. I have been a very occasional lurker on here, but the RMWeb reboot has prompted me to find a new home. I had always been fascinated by the appearance of 2mm Finescale, and after negotiating the takeover of the garage...

Apologies for the rather short notice, but the 2mm Scale Association is holding a Supermeet & Skills Day at Chelford this Saturday, 19th May. Opening times are 10 til 4 (ish) and admission is £5. The event is open to all. The venue is Chelford Village Hall, Chelford, Macclesfield, SK11 9AS The...

In the 2mm lounge is where I might be inclined to post a few pictures of things I've done in 2mil (and possibly some of what I'm doing at the time of posting). Some of these might well be historic but this little thread is intended only to be something of a photographic archive and not...

This should be into the MRJ Competition page, but I'm not sure how to put it there. Anyway, here goes. Here are the first pictures I took of what is my entry for the Cameo Competition. I have emailed my form ....honest. The pictures date from roughly six months ago when I started the project...

Hello, I'm following the protocol of introducing myself here. I've arrived via the MRJ Cameo Competition. I'm modelling in 2FS and have done so since 1982. Although my aging exhibition layout, Wansbeck Road is nearing the end of its exhibition life my modelling interests aren't just restricted...

I'd thought I'd start off my first proper Thunder-thread with a picture of the most recent items to escape my work-bench. First is a P4 LSWR G6 built for a friend and beautifully painted by Warren Haywood; when I build my 7mm X6 I want it in that colour. And then there's my 7mm Ford B0-Bo...

Hi, First posting on this forum and thought I'd come right out and blame Mr Clifford aka Queensquare for mentioning Western Thunder. It looks like a great forum. As for myself, I am a 2FS modeller with an exhibition layout some of you may have seen already. Interests are primarily Cambrian area...

Hi to everyone. First post on here. I joined Western Thunder recently and have been finding my way around. I'm just getting started in railway modelling after retiring from work. First thought was OO, but found I was getting frustrated that I couldn't fit as much in as I wanted, so I'm now...

I promised Robin Pulham I would post these when I bought some bits from him back in October. I wasn't sure if there were photo size limits on here so I have reduced them to 'web page' size. If anyone wants them bigger - yeah right ;-} - let me know and I shall repost larger!

Our next exhibition will be held in the Barnes Wallis Building, Manchester University Northern Campus (formerly UMIST) on Saturday 5th (10:00 to 17:30) and Sunday 6th (10:00 to 16:30) December 2015 To mark its 90th birthday year, the Society has decided to return to the city centre and to its...

Good evening, Here's an introduction to my latest project in 2mmFS, an extract of Thurso Scotland. The idea was originally conceived some 6 years ago as an addition to Kyle, not neccasarily to allow through running (as the lines weren't connected) but to balance each other and give two...

One from the Furness and one from the L&Y. The Furness version is for my embryonic layout based on Coniston and has been on and off my workbench in various stages of construction for several years now. The real life box opened in 1897 with the base coming from a defunct box at Carnforth, and...

So my 2mm adventure is launched - having been very impressed with the various 2mmFS contributions on the forum I decided this was an opportunity to get a small shelf layout started - hopefully I will have some progress to report soon on Holywell Town. In the meantime I seem to remember a...

As a recently joined member, I though I would post a few pictures of my 2mm FS bits and pieces. These were intended for a SE&CR project and were made a while ago. The project stalled because I couldn't work out how to do the complex Wainwright locomotive livery in this scale - the fine red and...

I thought that it was time to keep Jerry company and start a thread on here featuring various 2mm models, and maybe even a layout (eventually). I'll start off with my Newcastle Quayside ES1 which has been retro fitted with a DCC chip. Alex.

Thanks to Jerry and the Larkrail challenge I appear to be accumulating a few bits and pieces in 2mm, enough to start a workbench thread and wonder if Pandora's box has been cracked open :) I'm not very good at doing just one thing and finishing it off before starting something else so don't be...
