Very Happy This section seems a bit lonely. So here are a couple of my 7mm builds.

First up is a JM kit of the Fowler (Stanier built) 2-6-4-T. (I built this last year and just sold it. (It did not fit in well on my layout.




These are two of a rake to go with Liverpool & Manchester loco 'Lion' I scratch built a few years back.

I made a master of one side then resin cast the other sides. (The coach sides then made so fine 7mm narrow gauge coaches for my own layout.




These are the coach sides adapted for narrow gauge. The loco is a white metal kit I produced at the time.




A shot of my old 7mmnarrow gauge line. It ran around an 18' x 8' shed and out into the garden 20' to a return loop.

Thanks for showing those. It is good to see more posts in the larger scales section. thumbs up!

During my O gauge days I also did some narrow gauge, but not as extensive as yours! very nice. Smile

Very Happy Lastest loco off my WB for the layout. This is from the Mercian range.

Powered by a Mashima 1833 though a 40:1 gearbox.

A Midland Compound finally finished and now on it's way to the new owner for him to paint.

(This photo picked up the slightly crooked s/box dood handrail. Straighten before despatch)



This a little workhourse on my layout. A Scorpio kit. I quite like these kits. Has dummy inside valve gear too.

None of those kits were available when I was in O gauge. - But anyway, they are from the wrong railway for me, being an LNER fan. Wink

Very Happy Hi all. Here is the latest two locos on the roster at PEN-Y-CWM. The coal tank I finished today.



This little saddle tank was also fully finished last w/end after having to wait a couple weeks for the cab plates to arrive.

Very Happy Thanks guys.

I just may have to find an excuse to run more LNWR locos on PEN-Y-CWM (running down from Chester area)

As you know those little locos which are so full of character are a favourite of mine too. I am struggling to find an excuse to run more from Angenoria.
