detheridge Posted September 22, 2019 Author Share Posted September 22, 2019 Hi again folks, George Williamson has been going great guns with his 5.5mm scale Towyn Wharf layout, and a selection of the latest models is show here. They'll be familiar to all TR fans. Having seen the layout in the flesh for the first time some months ago, I have to say that pictures don't really do it justice. It has to be experienced! 5 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
detheridge Posted September 22, 2019 Author Share Posted September 22, 2019 Just to let you know that George's 55th studios website is now at: http://55thstudios.redflame.co.uk/ Here are some of the goodies on offer: 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
detheridge Posted September 22, 2019 Author Share Posted September 22, 2019 More news: Here's a link to very useful accessories for 5.5mm scale: https://www.anyscalemodels.com/shop/scale-1-56-for-28mm.html Although nominally for wargamers, 28mm scale (the height of a 6' figure) is just about right for 5.5mm. Who says there's nothing available? :-) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
detheridge Posted September 22, 2019 Author Share Posted September 22, 2019 (edited) And finally for now: The 2019 AGM of the 5.5mm Association will be on Saturday 28 September at Kidderminster SVR in the Museum building. Easy car parking (the BR car park is cheaper for some reason) and 2 minutes from the main line station. Come and meet fellow 5.5 modellers, see our products, and if you're not yet a member you can join on the day!

detheridge Posted October 8, 2019 Author Share Posted October 8, 2019 (edited) For several years members of the 5.5mm Association have been planning a handbook - my first draft goes back to 2003! We've finally got it finished, and it's now available as a pdf download at 55ng.co.uk. Look under 'Why 5.5?', 'Kits &Bits' and latest news. There's a history of the scale, models, accessories and suppliers - as much as we can find about all things 5.5mm scale. As things develop, we'll be adding new material and pics to the handbook. Enjoy! David. Edited October 8, 2019 by detheridge 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Dava Posted October 8, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 8, 2019 The handbook is a fine piece of work and hopefully will excite new interest in 5.5mm scale. I shall just admire from a distance as I'm staying in 7mm scale. Dava 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Dava Posted June 4, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 4, 2022 The 5.5mm Association handbook includes photos of the Southwold Railway 2-4-0T loco body kit originally by Ks & now available apparently from 55th Studio. It apparently is to mixed scale. Anyone know what work is required to produce a reasonably scale model, and what chassis can be used for 16.5mm gauge? It’s p12 on the handbook, I couldn’t copy any of the photos. http://www.55ng.co.uk/pdf/55Handbook2019.pdf Dava Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
