Lea Siding, a Gauge 3 layout 4 feet long is no more

[geoff_nicholls]

You may have seen my query about the use of chain shunting, elsewhere in this forum. Responses were positive and I've decided to include it on Lea Siding


The chain I found may be a bit small for the job, but it works well. The Y6 is nearly off the scene before the wagon passes the fouling point, but, as I said, it does work.
Bit of a rush now to have the GWR Iron Mink and a couple of other wagons ready for the Swindon show in two weeks time.

This NBR Jubilee wagon(another one from Williams Models) isn't quite finished, but I'll be bringing it to Swindon to show it off, along with the Iron Mink.



Lea Siding will be the only gauge 3 presence, but there are other WT'ers. I'm looking forward to seeing Modbury in the flesh. And the two broad gauge layouts. I keep suggesting to others that BG13.5 would be quite impressive...
