The GnATTERbox

Hi Andy,

They look good to me. Pleasing proportions with the spoked wheels adding extra character.

Cheers,

Ian, Si Harris (aka Model Earth Design http://modelearth.net) has kindly just pinged me a note to say that this beastie, see link below, could well do the trick - but the challenge may be to find one in stock. https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=Revell+1+24+BMW+3/15&ie=U...

Ian,

Might I kindly suggest you are losing your touch? A few moments on Google gave the Stockers

but you may not like the price...

Hi Andy,

I think it was only when I saw your April 1st post that I really started to properly appreciate this layout. Those photos nicely showed how everything fitted together, so the latest photos make more sense as you add further detail.

It’s all very enjoyable.

Cheers,

Hi Geoff, Love the idea. My spaghetti carbonara making has improved immensely ever since I started using properly harvested spaghetti. :D Question: will there be plenty of b.e locos as you don’t want that lovely fresh spaghetti tainted with steam or diesel fumes? Or does that add a certain essential...

Hi John, To replicate what I wrote some time back in Trade Tittle-tattle: ‘Hi fellow Gnatterboxers, I have been able to talk to Steve, who regrettably still does not have a computer, and we agreed I suggest that anyone who would like to place an order with him do it manually by using the good old po...

Hi Ian,

I hope you have a great time at the show.

And for those not familiar with Purespring there’s also

I know that 8" (yes, really) has been used with, I think about 1.5mm gauge widening. I don't know of a formula 1. Since you'd have to make your own track then try a 1mm, then a 1.5 etc But... 2. All the LGB stuff will go round their R1 2' radius anyway - and that's a fairly small radius for a l...

Graham,

Colonel Stephens would be proud.

Hi Graham,

I love all the little details. No wonder it’s taken a couple of years to bring it all together. A great depiction of a small railway ambling through countryside.

I checked my dictionary: bucolic seems to sum it up nicely.

Cheers,

‘To be continued...’

Looking forward to it!

Hi Stuart,

Welcome to the Gnatterbox.

It’s always good to have more options for Gn15 products. To help you further with this venture I thought I’d just mention that there are still those who are not FB users. So, by all means pop pics and prices etc. in here too.

Cheers,

When you see how many people are members here (with answers no doubt to pretty much anything you care to ask) you realise what a small group railway modellers are, never mind Gn15 modellers.

Hi Graham,

A thousand congrats on a delightful layout and successful show.

A thousand curses that I am not closer and thus able to come and enjoy it.

Cheers,

Ray,

I don’t think you’ll get any joy I’m afraid, see my posts on page 2 of this thread

Hi Peter,

It's only by finally properly (re)reading the thread that I've appreciated what was going on. I'll echo the sentiments of others - great to have you back.

Cheers,

Hi,

Amazing pics and footage - not exactly a good idea to park your car in the street.

I've moved the topic as it doesn't really seem to fit in the Gn15 modelling section.

Cheers,

Last weekend I popped along to the Stafford model railway show (boy, does N gauge look small to me these days!). As ever there was plenty to see in a wide range of gauges and scales, the largest of which was Hook Basin in 1/25. It has had a couple of mentions in here before, but never a thread of it...

Hi Rob,

Good to have you back.

A question if I may: I see you are using Photobucket, does that mean you are paying them a fortune or might your images suddenly vanish as they have for so many others?

Cheers,

There are, to my knowledge, three micro layout groups on Facebook, but two of them seem to take comparatively huge layouts, however charming you might consider them. But all is not lost for those who like 'true' micros. Our own Ian Holmes of this parish has a group with these criteria: The ONLY Face...

Go up a gauge or so to 10 1/4” and there was the Shillingstone line, more here

Hi Bill, I'll assume you're meaning industrial as opposed to the many passenger carrying miniature railway, in which case the only one that comes to mind is the Wolds Way Lavender Company. Their 7 1/4" line both takes visitors around the farm but is also used to assist with brining in the laven...

These days I lean more to 1/12 scale, meaning 16.5mm gauge is a fairly good approximation for 7 1/4” full size. Locos and stock up to 28” wide run perfectly well on 7 1/4”, allowing relatively wide stock to be modelled if you wish.

Cheers,

Bill,

Whilst it could be battery powered, and thus perhaps R/C too, track powered is perhaps the most likely and cheapest option.

Any locos and stock would be considerably smaller than what you have running, regauging would definitely not suit, if that was what you were considering.

Cheers,
