Somewhere in a farm building I have thousands of pounds of locos, stock, track and scenery slowly going to shit!

I make micro scale railways, the engine and carriages travel the 'track' operated by a 9 volt battery or transformer... 4 inches by 4 inches or the larger 4 inches by 7 inches.

and one where I replaced the train with a narrowboat...

Do you make them to sell or just for pleasure?

the biggest disadvantage of age .... is that you can't outgrow it

Simples...

Is there anybody on here who is into Model Railways?

I am working on getting my granddaughter interested.

She is only two and a half just now but already is fascinated by full sized trains so I reckon there is scope. (any excuse)

Thanks...yes I do, or rather did, make them to sell, mainly at doll house miniature shows, they are the perfect size for a standard scale dollhouse... so approximate oo gauge for 12th scale houses.

Wow! They are pretty awesome. Looks like a lot of skill has gone into making those.
