About this blog

A 1:32 scale representation of an 18" gauge tramway running from a works to a wharf on a river. The initial inspiration comes from the Brede Waterworks tramway in East Sussex near Hastings but in no way will this be a model of that particular line. The choice of a large scale is so that the models are still of a similar size to OO gauge locos and wagons, in fact the gauge could be 16.5mm and not be that far out, and in some ways this project is forward looking to a time when I may not be quite so agile and nimble-fingered.

So what is this all about then?

Or as those who know me may be saying, "this isn't Thai, it isn't 3mm scale, what are you up to?"   Well indulging myself in something completely different. I have dabbled in 7mm scale narrow gauge in the past, mainly modelling 2' gauge industrials so it is not completely off the wall. However I never came up with a suitable layout concept to take it beyond just building a few kits. In the process though I acquired a number of books, was an original subscriber to Roy Link's Narrow Gaug
