A nice quality, if rather melancholic, look at the Bridport branch immediately before closure. The footage at Maiden Newton is evocative of a rather later period than @Gerry Beale’s developing model, but well worth a watch. H/T to Richard Sims of Loders for the link.

Good morning, it’s been a while since I posted and so much has happened, I moved up from EM gauge to 7mm which I loved but after making quite a bit of progress and accumulating quite a few locos I realised the reality that I’d probably never finish the project due to the size and lack of space I...

A lot of razor saw action in this month's update with the bravery award going to @Kier Hardy for butchering the better part of £300 worth of RTR DMU from 117 to 125: EM Gauge Layouts, Models & Projects Pete Johnson's heavily bleached 03 is my particular favourite from this selection, not least...

As a first post I thought I'd better write something showing a crumb of modelling ability.... so what better than a kit with only about 20 individual parts. Like most of my modelling this is pure nostalgia. A PCA tank, hopefully the first of 5, that will replicate the colourful Ketton Cement...

A small chink of light, in the context of this damp dreich day, in the November update from Kier et al. Very pleased to see the multiplication of 47s on Hornsey Broadway (should there be much else?!) and Hywel Thomas's superb chemical tanks as well as Karl Crowther's impressive Kentside project...

It's that time again [September]: EM Gauge Layouts, Models & Projects The highlight - for me, anyway - is Hywel Thomas's inspired and convincing ROCO-bash of a VTG chemical tank. Marvellous. And now it's October: EM Gauge Layouts, Models & Projects - more interesting chemical tank bashing and...

An early Christmas treat from Kier et al. With lots from my personal favourite, Morfa Bank Sidings: EM Gauge Layouts, Models & Projects Adam

This is - as ever - superb. Well done @Kier Hardy et al and particularly, Hywel Thomas, whose Morfa Bank Sidings is seldom anything less than glorious. EM Gauge Layouts, Models & Projects Adam

Hi all, Well having signed up today, I thought I'd better start a Thread and tell you a little about myself and about my current project (New Mills) that I started last Saturday, (15th June 2019). My main love is building new Layouts, and since Christmas I have built Bala Town in O Gauge...

It's here and not only the trains move - the influence of @Giles is clear to see (among much else): EM Gauge Layouts, Models & Projects Adam

Post Railex, here's the June update: EM Gauge Layouts, Models & Projects While the Hornsey Broadway content is lovely, but for me at least, it's news that Hywel Thomas's Morfa Bank Sidings is coming back together and Karl Crowther's 40 (not my thing at all but it's a superb bit of reworking). Adam

In like a Lion as it's said... And while @Dan Randall is otherwise engaged, here's the latest update from the wonderful world of @Kier Hardy and friends. EM Gauge Layouts, Models & Projects Lots of wonderful wagon action in this one - I especially like the Belgian ferry van (though should...

Since @Dan Randall seems to be busy: EM Gauge Layouts, Models & Projects A bumper effort, too. Adam

This month's dose of excellence from Kier Hardy et al (and I've beaten @Dan Randall for once :p). EM Gauge Layouts, Models & Projects Adam

And here it is, including barbaric surgery on ancient Matchbox plant. Terrific! EM Gauge Layouts, Models & Projects Adam

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...

When I was small my mum and dad took me to Dyffryn Ardudwy for our summer holidays, a village not far from Barmouth which we went to nearly every year when I was young. BR blue DMU's and double headed 37's on summer specials are what I remember, I had loads of photos but thinking I'll never use...

And here it is, a bumper update, several days early: EM Gauge Layouts, Models & Projects Hywel Thomas's work on turning a Minix Viva into a burnt-out wreck is especially impressive. Stunning! :) I will be copying to work done to the Bachmann anchor-mounted tank at some point too. Adam

Good morning, I thought I'd share my bodging efforts on my new o gauge micro layout set in North Devon in the 1970s/80s. It's not finished but has made its first public appearance and with bookings coming in,it's spurring me on to keep developing the layout to completion. As I say, Its not...
