The GnATTERbox

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,

Hi Geoff, Well, you don’t seem to downcast about being made redundant so one way or another (i.e. new job or modelling time) I hope the future is bright. Your Emett creations certainly make me smile. Here’s hoping you might at least do a bit more track, scenery, buildings or whatever to set them off...

Given your abilities with everything else I can’t exactly see people painting as being a problem.

Nice to get pretty much the ‘full effect’ seeing most of the layout in that first pic.

Cheers,

Hi Tom,

Hope you had a good Christmas.

Money just sent.

Cheers,

Mea culpa, I didn’t read it carefully enough.

Cheers,

The above sadly ignores my discussion with Steve at a show and the statement I made about that in this thread and on other related forums.

Please guys, read what I’ve written and follow the advice.

Thanks.

Hi Gerald,

Your first suggestion

1/16n10¼”

(Damn, but it’s not easy to get the ¼” to show properly!)

Cheers,

A last note for now:

Whatever we choose to call this scale/gauge combo Si Harris, aka Modelearth, is definitely bent on offering some wagons and a loco at some stage next year.

Now, if we can also persuade Smallbrook Studios to pick their idea of doing a 1/12 Tinkerbell...

Cheers,

You are quite right Jon. The ‘conversation has moved on a bit elsewhere. My current favoured thought is 1/12n7¼ Since, at least in the railway modelling world, the scale is normally referred to as 1/12 rather than, say, 1”. n is used quite happily all over to refer to narrow gauge, as in our own dea...
