A CHANGE OF SCALE.......


Jim Bob

367 views

After a great deal of soul searching, I have decided that I'm going to have to be a 2mm man! I've decided that what I really want is a railway in a landscape. In a 6' x 4' shed, I've realised that this is going to impossible in 00, if I really want to do the scenery justice. I already have a location in mind (fictitous branch line, off a real railway line).

 

For me to finance this change of scale, I will need to sell my existing 00 gauge models, most of which are "work in progress" but I do have some models "as bought" from a well-known auction site. I'm planning to offer these in the "classified" section. I do not want the "price war" that can be generated on that auction site, when, as I see it, we are all enthusiasts on this site and understand what we want to do.

 

So, the upshot of this preamble is that I will be offering some items for sale in the "classified" section, which, I hope will be of interest to you serious modellers out that. I want to charge a "reasonable price" and, if any of you with more experience than I, think these prices are unrealistic, please let me know.

 

As I have said, there will be some rtr models, as bought, and some work-in-progress that I hope you may wish to finish off.

 

Please keep an eye on the classifieds section and, if there's anything in which you are interested, please consider!!

 

Meanwhile, I intend to start a new blog, describing my new 2mmFS layout, as it progresses!

Good luck with the change of scale. What have you built so far in the "small" scale?

 

Hi Tim V. As yet, I have built nothing, zero, zilch! This going to be a completely fresh start!

 

I intend to go with suitable Graham Farish models (as cheaply as I can obtain them!). They have to be suitable for a GWR branch line in the 1930's. I will be rewheeling them and intend to join the 2FS club, using Ezytrac but, obviously, I will neet to build my own turnouts - a real first! Templot, I'm sure would be a real help in the design stage but, will have to save up for that!

 

 

welcome to the best scale  look forward  to seeing your  progress

 

Thanks Nigel, I'm realy hope you're right! I've got a lot to learn...

 

Best wishes,

 

Jim
