4mm Llanfair

[LarryG]

After 2020 when a model railway wasn't of much interest, I removed the loops in the garden and tidied the place up. Building another is keeping me occupied....

I wasn't thinking straight yesterday, but luckily I had a 10 year old length of 3" x 3" so a fourth post has been added. Things should wizz along tomorrow if only to beat the approaching change in weather....

At the moment it is something for me to do. The radius is 6' 8".

Nice work Larry, but that's far too generous for 4mm scale...........

Senior moment Geoff. 3' 4" radius. Like many people, I have been active all my life and I need projects to get up for. This garden structure will be there if I ever return to 0 gauge. I only recently sold my 7mm buildings ~ big mistake.

Senior moments are the norm in our house Larry

I wouldn't say that selling your old buildings was a mistake, see it as a golden opportunity to start afresh.

A 5th post went in yesterday! Should have planned it out better but I was in a hurry instead of waiting for delivery of plywood. It was all creosoted well before the weather broke...


The 4mm loop inside the shed has gone, although much of the existing scenery will be retained...

It's just like deja vu all over again...

And again

I never looked forward to building another loop after demolishing the first one of 2014. So I've built it first this time, aches and pains notwithstanding..

Rain stopped play today. Top boards are only resting. Inside supports still to complete plus creosoting.....



Clearance made so I can get between the fence and layout. Headshunt will have to be outdoors in 7mm scale...

Larry, is the loop Peco Setback 2nd radius ?

Larry, is the loop Peco Setback 2nd radius ?

Surely reverting to 7mm isn't a setback

Well spotted, and now amended, thank you.

I thought Peco only did 2nd Radius in 0 gauge. It's 3' 4" Rad.

Thank you Larry, for confirming, reason I asked was because Peco also make the track work for Lenz’s O gauge range and they do two radii.

Let the fun begin ( again )
Well done Larry

Hello Larry, I’ll see you in a bit with your box of goodies.

Are you having a loop on the door end as well, for roundy roundy running ?
