whart57 Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Two excellent 3mm scale layouts in RM over two months. One small "bitsa station" layout and one biggie, a scale half mile run and operated with signals and the like. Congratulations to the builders 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Robert Shrives Posted April 24, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 24, 2022 RM articles very good and show our scale/gauge combination off very well and the cover photo does not give any clues away with signature 3mm signs. In fact none of the pictures used could be said to say 3mm. Which begs several questions.. Does the hobby aspire to visual conviction- yes for me and so sales and gauges are only relevant to making a convincing scene. If Mike had had a 30 foot shed would this be better or just bigger in 7mm ? Equally Rob Brown with his layout is a great showcase with his micro both masters of the task. Many a model seen in mags have conviction issues with track, couplings and scenic features that jar or shout NEM coupling pockets or peco points with the upstand on the tiebar or US sleeper spacing on your Ashburton evocation track. However the root of the hobby is to provide enjoyment, however achieved, for the model maker so to decry efforts is wrong and each to their own and if an anachronism spotted means you aspire not to repeat the feature then that has to be good for the hobby, surely? As 3mm modellers should we aim to hide our lights under bushells as we are such a niche band with perhpaps 600 souls involved? This model is 12mm gauge but looks good and clearly reads as a good runner and an inspiration to all scales - one of the reasons and purpose it get the accolade of "Railway of the month."
