... here are Scamps 4 and 2.

Note, we have all but reached Scamp no. 100 in just five years.

Guilty as charged. Yours truly is proud to be owner of Scamp number two. More importantly I like to think of myself as the chap who pushed, encouraged and cajoled Colin Edmondson, the designer, to create said beastie after we had both been to visit Goliath, a similarly tiny creation at Peco’s Beer H...

Hi Geoff,

Nice to catch up with this. It’s looking really good.

Cheers,

That other line is fascinating but, unless modified, I think I’d soon lose interest. Your choice has great scenery potential as well as operating fun.

Cheers,

Coming along nicely. If you’re a Facebook user I found my info here https://www.facebook.com/groups/1911992839045598/permalink/2497733777138165/ But I think you may need to be a Micro Layouts group member to see it. Easy enough, just click Join. It’s on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pQ9nC...

Hi Chris,

I grabbed a couple of photos of the same line a while ago for my own enjoyment. Great to know it's inspired you too. Your version looks like it should have both a good run and useful operating potential too.

Cheers,

Peter,


You put the rest of us to shame with all these great updates.

Hi Bill,

I think the current level of grot/grime etc. is perfectly fine.

A couple of pics from stuff I’ve collected off the internet over the years. Alas, that means I can’t give a credit to the photographers, so if they should look in, my apologies!

Hi Les,

Our bit of Shropshire is pleasingly far from the madding crowd, so we’re doing quite nicely, thanks.

I hope to be able to report good progress on my 7 1/4" gauge garden line in the not too distant future.

Cheers,

Hi Les,

I’m not sure how I’ve managed to miss this little gem, but I’m a sucker for Particle Beam Weapons, so I’m glad to have caught up now.

Cheers,

Bill,

That colour - wow! As in, wow!

It’s one of those pics you can still see seared on your eyeballs after you’ve closed your eyes!

Cheers,

Hi, You can still see the Pepper 7 website, but even if you can, please don't order from it as anything you do will fall into a black hole. https://blackdogmining.weebly.com/locos1.html Whilst there were plans for production to be taken over by Howard Martin he seems to have been sucked into a simil...

Hi Bill,

I'm currently hiding from the sun, so it's great to be able to keep up with your work. Hopefully one day in the far, far, future I'll be able to see both layout and you at a show again.

Cheers,

You sure do keep busy Peter!

Hi Ian,

Love the rusty corrugated iron.

Cheers,

Hi Michael,

Great video, great layout.

I've taken the liberty of moving your thread's location as it's about a Gn15 model rather than a 15" prototype.

Cheers,

Awesome!

I'm all too aware that lots of little bits wouldn't fit or work if I was to try the same sort of thing. I doff my cap to you.

Cheers,

Hi Andy, Thanks for sharing/showing all that in one go. It’s scary how much space models can take up in boxes, your case idea works a treat. I’m a serial dabbler in 7/8ths and 1/12 scale mostly, with the consequent much larger volume per item. It also makes it much harder to conceal from SWMBO! Chee...

Ian, guys, A possible Eureka moment. By good fortune I had bookmarked Andy's website. I've just signed up for the Wayback Machine and can now offer: https://web.archive.org/web/20070703150000/http://www.pd49.dial.pipex.com/pockets/railways/cuddle2.html It may not be much but the links between pages ...

The future (I hope!) I must update the track plan on the previous page as it lacks a siding that comes off the ‘main line’ in the garden towards the pond just before it goes into the paddock so that a complete train, or just a bit of rolling stock, can be held as other things come through. There’s a...

Just looked back to Page 1 as it were. December 2006. It’s been quite a journey. Very enjoyable to have been along for the ride.

Cheers,

Great to have you back Ian. I’m looking forward to the layout. It’s a shame that neither Andy nor Carl Arendt (I think it fascinated Carl as it’s a simple length of track, yet offers interesting working) are here to enjoy it with the rest of us.

Cheers,

Delightful.

Cheers,

Hi Ian,

I don’t think it ever got built. It was always Andy’s Eldorado, sought but never reached.

As you probably know it was written about here
