RMweb Premium St Enodoc Posted October 7, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 7, 2018 Hi Zomboid My plan was to build a 15 inch line using 00 track and locos in approx 1/24th scale. It didn't get much further. I don't have the space for another layout. Perhaps, a 1/24th scale terminus station :scratchhead: Outdoors... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold john new Posted October 7, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 7, 2018 (edited) Gn15 is a real thing, there's a fair few layouts in the scale on carendt.com. never seen an RHDR one though.There is, or was one on the circuit. Saw it at the Weymouth show a few years back. Edited October 7, 2018 by john new Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have stated before I have been given the wrong type of legs, I was fitted with coward's legs despite being brave. If I were to suggest to Mrs M that the 'orses give up a bit of their land for a railway, those legs of mine would be in full retreat before she even said "NO!!!!"

Hi John It is a very nice layout. I came across it after I had started my experiment and the chap who's layout it is (sorry I cannot recall his name) had arrived at almost the same logic to use 1/76 locos as 1/3rd scale minature locomotives on a 1/24th scale model. the maths don't quite work out right but it does mean a Tri-ang Hornby "Flying Scotsman" can be used as a basis of a RHDR pacific. After all it was Henry Greenly who built the RHDR as 1/3rd locos running on 1/4 track and invented 00 which is 1/76 locos running on 1/87 track.

One of my "might-but-probably-never-will" projects is Hythe, RHDR. If it were to happen, it would probably be 7 mm scale on 9 mm gauge track. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it were to happen, it would probably be 7 mm scale on 9 mm gauge track. Hi John I did start down that route but secondhand N gauge locos at the time were more expensive than Tri-ang Hornby "Flying Scotsman" models plus I had a 00 layout to test things on. I did build some Gn15 (I think that is the scale/gauge name) coaches, and a new tender, complete with driver for a N gauge Britannia. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a model of Hythe which appeared at exhibitions a few years ago. Used 16.5 mm track and had some lovely models of most of the Romney fleet, some of which are now on display in the museum there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted October 7, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted October 7, 2018 Has anyone else spotted this thread? How do you date a Bachmann pannier?

RMweb Premium Colin Posted October 7, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 7, 2018 Which pannier did you have in mind? 57xx (common as muck) or 94xx (big & brawny) Or maybe a 2721 (elegant but rather long in the tooth)? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from it being good and the new doctor excellent, did you noticed where the crane scene was filmed. That's right on the site of the former Sheffield Exchange station.
