Hi
As I haven't posed anything to the group yet I thought this Christmas Questionnaire was a
good chance to say a bit about what i'm doing.
(1) Are you actually working to 14mm gauge?
I am starting a small layout in 14mm gauge. This is my first "real" layout. I have been involved
in scale model railways for a few years but I have not actually done much modelling so the
layout is a small project to start off. The stock is under way with the layout to be started in a
month or so's time.
(2) if so are you using the RCL standard, if not what variation are you using?
I am using the RCL standards. Some members of the local model railway club use O-16.5, i
decided that the Peco track was too heavy and so I decided if I was going to build the track I
might as well do it to the correct gauge and use finer standards. A case of start as you
mean to go on.
(3) What are you modelling?
The current small layout is going to be a short sand carrying line influenced by the Leighton
Buzzard sand industry. I borrowed a few recent copies of the Review and Roy's layout
gave me part of the idea.
I am also heavily involved in HO scale US outline standard gauge through the local NMRA
group and the local club's 009 (too small for my liking!). I also play with 308.4mm/foot scale
narrow gauge at Leighton Buzzard.
(4) Are you on DC or DCC or thinking of the latter?
DC on the narrow gauge, Lenz DCC on the HO.
(5) Be as vague as you choose, but roughly where are you?
Chelmsford UK
(6) If you answered yes to (1), how long have you been modelling in O-14?
I bought the full set of jigs back in 1996 and subscribed to the Review for a couple of years,
but as noted above I never actually got anything built. University got in the way :-) I will be re-
starting a subscription after christmas
As with all these things there is no guarantee that anything will actually get finished, it has
taken eight years to actually plan a serious layout so it will probably take another eight to
finish it.
Cheers
Geoff Tiller
