Pentewan Light Railway: One month to go!
http://pentewan.blogspot.com/2014/09/one-month-to-go.html
Modelling the 3rd epoch in O14 and Scale7. The Pentewan Railway in Cornwall was possibly unique in having three* gauges in its lifetime. Christopher Hawkins built the original rai. Wednesday, 24 September 2014. One month to go! Oh dear - just one month to go! I think all my fellow O14 exhibitors have been good to go for some time, but I still have so much still to do. A 3 week holiday followed by a week weekend of working has meant no progress since my last post. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Pentewan Light Railway: November 2014
http://pentewan.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Modelling the 3rd epoch in O14 and Scale7. The Pentewan Railway in Cornwall was possibly unique in having three* gauges in its lifetime. Christopher Hawkins built the original rai. Monday, 3 November 2014. Well the day came, it happened and I'm glad it is all over. I would especially like to thank Gary, John, Mark, David and Steve for their help and support, and doing nearly all the operating. Due to a quirk in layout placement the back-room operations area proved quite an exhibit in its own right.

Pentewan Light Railway: December 2013
http://pentewan.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Modelling the 3rd epoch in O14 and Scale7. The Pentewan Railway in Cornwall was possibly unique in having three* gauges in its lifetime. Christopher Hawkins built the original rai. Sunday, 22 December 2013. Progress has been slow but I have installed parapets on the remaining two bridges and some walking boards so the PLR track gang should hopefully be a bit safer (although this was the 1950s).

Pentewan Light Railway: Trackmaking for Chelfham
http://pentewan.blogspot.com/2014/05/trackmaking-for-chelfham.html
Modelling the 3rd epoch in O14 and Scale7. The Pentewan Railway in Cornwall was possibly unique in having three* gauges in its lifetime. Christopher Hawkins built the original rai. Friday, 16 May 2014. I've been helping my friend David by making some points for Chelfham. He was running out of time before it's next outing at the 7mm NGA AGM at Burton-Upon-Trent and I wasn't going to let him succumb/revert to the dreaded crazy track. Note: only a member of this blog may post a comment.

Barnstaple Town to Pilton Causeway in O14: June 2014
http://barnstapletown.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Barnstaple Town to Pilton Causeway in O14. Modelling Barnstaple Town to Pilton Causeway on the Lynton and Barnstaple Railway (in 1:43 scale, 14mm gauge). Sunday, 1 June 2014. The wiring has been a treat, exercising my grey cells somewhat. I am glad to have tried using a wiring list, however. This has made me think things through, such as colour coding. Mind you, if I'd paid more attention to the last column - length - I might not have run out of red quite so soon! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Mettre en Boîte at ExpoNG 2011. I decided to resurrect this incomplete 'layout in a box', in order to practice making turnouts for Chelfham. The engine is looking more colourful nowadays - of which more anon. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. 7mm Narrow Gauge Association. Lynton and Barnstaple Railway.

Barnstaple Town to Pilton Causeway in O14. Modelling Barnstaple Town to Pilton Causeway on the Lynton and Barnstaple Railway (in 1:43 scale, 14mm gauge). Monday, 9 September 2013. Trust a close-up photograph to highlight a few things yet to be done - like the brake hose! Anyhow, work on the Decauville engine draws to a close and attention turns briefly to my Type H Balladeuse. The couplings need figuring out before going too much further on that: more anon. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Barnstaple Town to Pilton Causeway in O14. Modelling Barnstaple Town to Pilton Causeway on the Lynton and Barnstaple Railway (in 1:43 scale, 14mm gauge). Thursday, 3 November 2011. Front fittings on the Decauville 042T. Which means that I'll probably soon be returning to my 4-wheel toastrack carriage so that they match. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
