O Gauge - An Adventure into the "Twilight Zone"
Somewhere in the west of England during the early 1950's there is a small branchline station with a coal siding, and possible freight depot serving the local industries which mainly consists of agriculture and light manufacturing... Now to get all that plus something a bit more stimulating into a 12 x 2 foot space at 7mm scale!
So far there is no name for it... But I thought to record its progress. So far the stock includes a small Tower Models steam shunter 1364 (made for them by San - Cheng) some Lionheart coal wagons and a Skytrex brakevan - which unfortunately has plastic wheels and no windows - where the windows are supposed to be it has been painted silver. As it develops it promises to hold hours of interest and modeling fun.
The current puzzle is, "How on earth does one assemble a Peco buffer stop without either cutting the Peco BH track or the buffer?" - the designers of the buffers appear to be living in a totally different dimension to the people who designed the track! One would imagine that both would work together - Maybe this is a feature of the 'O' Gauge universe - Welcome to the Twilight Zone...
