7mm

'Abbot's Mead' is a small brewery with a small yard and a little wharf based in south London in the 1950s, a start has been made and some point's are built.

An update, March 2022 Track laying is finally complete, though not all the point motors have been connected. An update, September 2021 On returning to France after 10 months absence, I have decided that the current layout is not offering the best operational options. For example, local...

Penmaenpool has been on the go for a year now and before that is was planned to be on portable baseboards as I didn't have a home for it. Well, now I have a "railway room with house attached" in a lovely, friendly village in Occitanie. The house is a three story village house and had a home...

I described modelling the station masters house and waiting room at Carrog station (Dee Valley) in workbench thread, but it got unwieldy and was slow opening up. So I decided to put this in the GWR Action section seeing as the brick waiting room was something of a house-style in parts of the...

I've just started printing wagons in 7mm scale - This is a NSR Longbottom wagon BWK1681/7. The price is £47.50 Most of the wagons in the 4mm range can now be supplied in 7mm, if the one you are looking for is not listed on my 7mmm page please send me an email.

I have been guilty of not posting enough photos so here is the latest from my workbench. It has been constructed from the Judith Edge kit. Rivet painters (as distinct from counters) please note that Rule 1 applies to the livery. The "interior" looks like this: The driver is standing on...

Hi all. After some advice regarding rtr pannier tanks in 7mm scale. I have noticed that a couple of the well known model railway emporiums are offering both the Dapol 57xx and the former Lionheart 64xx at discounted prices. Now having read a bit about both models I understand that both are...

I could resist this no longer, so out came the pale blue boxes. Here's what's inside starting with the loco. The milky bar boiler, horn blocks cast brass and nickel silver parts, plus various screws, nuts and bolts and assorted bits of wire. The Slaters wheels are of course not included. As...

an O gauge layout in a shed.

Good evening!! I had my registration approved a couple of days ago, so I thought I ought to introduce myself. My name is as above but my username will be explained shortly!! I model in O gauge, blue diesel late 1970s/early 80s. I've been building a layout based on an actual location since...

I was pleased when the group build was announced, as I’d already decided to make a photo plank, and, indeed, already started. My motivation is that we have a clear horizon from our patio overlooking the Channel, and I wanted some form of plank on which to place my 0 Gauge models outdoors, for...

What should I do with several half-started and nearly-completed commissions piled up on the workbench? Why, start a new build, of course! I was sure I'd already started a thread for this build, but I can't immediately lay my mouse on it. So, here's the story so far! A returning client, which...

Having recently completed the building of my Gladiator Duchess and with my L1 from the same stable going through the paint shop, my thoughts turned to what to get next. I was leaning towards the Scorpio Std 3 2-6-2 when purely by chance, I came across this unbuilt Martin Finney 7mm A3 plus...

In my usual scattergun approach to build schedules I am embarking on yet more new territory for me. Considering the contribution made to Britain's economy during the Industrial Revolution, the narrow gauge lines often seem to be overlooked by many. Today, they are slightly twee tourist things...

Hello, I’ve been a moderately active member of RMWeb, looks nervously if should say that, and see a few familiar names. I really model 2ft and 18” narrow gauge in a bizarre scale of 12mm = 1ft, well in my mind it works. Suffice to say I haven’t done a huge amount due to work life balance being...

While I still have various other builds on, around and under the bench that ought to be taking my attention, sometimes I need to refresh my brain with something different. This time it's four Slater's Maunsell coaches, built in the 1930s, and running towards the end of the 1950s, or into the...

The LNER Class J6 0-6-0s were the final development of a long line of mixed traffic 0-6-0 tender locos for the Great Northern Railway. The 521 series of 15 engines were designed by H A Ivatt, and built at Doncaster in 1911. They were designated as GNR Class J22. After Mr Ivatt's retirement at...

If I knew then, what I know now! I didn't heed the advice! This build has been chronicled in another place, but here is the short version. What I started with on the 27th July '17...... .....what I finished with before going into the paint shop 5th November '17

Hi Gang, My name is Keiran Ryan, Thank you for allowing me to be part of this forum, I am from Picton NSW Australia, and no I am not for convict stock (getting in early LOL). I have been involved with model railways, for many years, and while I mainly dabble in NSWGR HO, I also am involved with...

Hi everybody, I've been modelling in 7mm scale (32mm gauge) since 1988, having grown frustrated with OO gauge and ready-to-run modelling. Changing scale and learning all the new skills necessary to kit and scratchbuild was a big challenge. My long term project is 'Kelly Bray', a BR(S) branch...
