Why do we do it to ourselves?!

Wolds-End is now virtually complete.

Had a bit of a running session, it does take a long time to work things out to move, so great operating potential.

Picked up my Class 24 with sound from Digitrains yesterday, although not allowed to run it as it's my christmas present.

Looking around the shop I saw that you can actually get the Class 24 in N-gauge, which got me thinking, and on my return home, checked to see what was available.

Having scanned the usual online retailers, thought what about building a 'Mini Wolds-End but in N-gauge?

It will only be just over two foot long and about 300mm wide, which I can accomodate, so for a bit of fun I'm going to build 'Wolds-End' in N-gauge!

Will look quite odd seeing them both next to each other!

 

I have got virtually all of the same rolling stock(picked up my decoder fitted Class 08 in EWS livery from Digitrains as well yesterday) just waiting for one or two bits but apart from that I can start the build, putting off going into the garage at the minute to cut everything to length....only a fair weather builder me.

 

As I have already built the N-gauge canopy and the large station building, from Scalescenes, this will be one difference, instead of having the parcels office running across the front, I will have the large station building instead.

I will also have the Scalescenes small terrace houses actually built going across the back, instead of the pasted on pictures.

It's nice having built one, as those little things that I would do different will be included in the second one.

Apart from these two differences everything else will be the same, asI don't want to stray too much away from the original.

Pictures will be posted when I've got something to show.

 

Cheers

Hi Ian,

I was interested in your comment about N gauge.

 

When I started in N Gauge some years ago, I decided on North American outline, using

Kato and Atlas, as I was frankly disenchanted with the British outline choice and reliability.

It has of course enabled me to run DCC as well.

 

However. I believe things are improving, and I'm interested in anyone's views

 

John
