Back in 2017 I acquired from Nick Brown his 14mm gauge 7mm scale model called Martinhoe Cross representing an impression of the L&B railway.??I had plans to incorporate it into my model of Lynton but those plans have had to change.??It has been in safe and secure dry storage and I now need to free up that space.

I am looking for a new home for the layout and it will be free to anyone who is able to collect it – a large transit will be required.??The model can be seen in edition 168 of the 7mm Narrow Gauge Association magazine.??It is a looped circuit and fits into a space of 7 feet x 6 feet.??It comes on a number of baseboards (but not supports) and all the track, scenery, buildings, bridges and wiring are in place.??There are no as these were retained by Nick when I took possession.

Please, only serious interest, it needs to go to a good home for someone, or a club, who will use it as intended or develop it further.??Message me and I can supply details and answer any questions.

Thanks, Cliff

Good luck Cliff, I’m not interested but I am curious about the gauge.? I recall thinking when I read the Narrow Lines article that the gauge wasn’t very clear.? I think Nick started off with grand plans for 14mm gauge but then opted for something simpler to fit the available space by using Peco track.? However it wasn’t clear if he meant 016.5 track or used Peco track components to build his own 014 track.

?

I remember being impressed with the pictures and article. It will make a fine layout for anyone with the space.

Cheers,

Hi Robin, yes it is hand built 14mm gauge track with Peco components to a vary good quality.

I do not think that this would find the best home with the L&B Trust which already has at least one layout Barnstaple Town in 4mm which is stored in someone’s house for eventual display as it is a scale model of a station that will never be reopened. ?If accepted, this layout would similarly remain in store for a considerable time and deserves a better outcome.

I am making enquiries in my own club but do not hold out much hope as space again is at a premium.
