3mm new layout East Boldre.

 For sometime I have been contemplating a new 3mm scalelayout.

Inspiration was fueled by Mutton at Minehead so a 4ft x 16inch board was rescued from the loft and a start made.

I have used track produced by Ratio for the 3mm Society and the excellent handmade pointwork by Hugh Martin.

The trackplan has been tested and fits the stock which will be used.


 The track is, at present, lightly pinned to the board which has had the turnout tie-bars marked for drilling.

After some thought, unusual for me, it has been decided that I will use wire in tube to actuate the points with slide switches.

Whatever I choose will probably be influenced by a visit to Railwells and the MSE stand!
