    Well thanks to our favourite tax paying coffee (and Tea) outlet I managed to acquire enough wood, I mean coffee stirrers to create the local 'Reading room' for the guys down at Longs logging line and the sawmill. Watch out though, that catch on the inside isn't terribly reliable!
     
    Suitable dimensions were discovered online, where there are strangely many photos of outhouses! The web is a wonderful place if a little strange at times.
     
    Plenty of cutting and chopping has brought this little 'reading room', 'dunny', 'thrown room' to life.
     
    The woodwork has been completed, just waiting on the door hinges to be added and a occupant will be suitably painted, along with a little weathering in part 2.
     
    But for now a couple of images to show where were at -

     
     

     
    Thanks for reading
    Dave.

    Hello and Welcome.
     
    Introduction - What is On30?
     
    Simply put its O scale narrow gauge that runs on ho/oo 16.5mm track. Not to be confused with British O, On30 is 1/4" or 1:48 and not 7mm.
     
    Its long been known as a scratch builders gauge, however thanks to Bachmann its found an ever growing popularity! The relatively low prices for the rolling stock and engines in a large scale make it a great gauge to get that fun factor back in to my modelling.
     
    New layout - Longs Logging Line
     
    Over the coming months I'll be posting updates and projects. You'll see scratchbuilding, 3D design work and a fair amount of bodging.
     
     
    So here goes....
     
    Regards
    Dave
