3mm Society: London Transport

Saturday 12^th September

WestFest 2015 - an annual exhibition organised by the South West local group.

Part 2

West Street

Another 50 Something from this year's AGM; a BR LMR goods warehouse and yard, modelled by Geoff Gay of the South West group.

Addison Park

Continuing the London Transport theme is Addison Park, an imaginary location situated in West London very close to Kensington Addison Road (aka "Olympia") station.

Modelled by Phil Hutchings of the Chilterns group, it brings the charm of things such as Routemasters, Trolleybusses and Underground "R" and "F" stock to the world of 3mm.

The layout is constructed to 3mm scale 14.2mm gauge and although nearly entirely scratchbuilt, many products from the 3mm Society's large range have also been used, including the trackwork which has been handbuilt using Society track components.

Further layouts to follow in Part 3...

Saturday 12^th September

WestFest 2015 - an annual exhibition organised by the South West local group.

Being the 50^th anniversary year of the 3mm Society a total of nine 3mm scale layouts were presented, including several entries from the “50 Something Challenge” as judged at the Society 50^th Anniversary AGM in April 2015.

50 x 50 Shades of Grey

This was the first outing of Nick Salzman's fascinating little micro layout since the AGM. A quayside scene modelled entirely in grey shades, it gives it the effect of an old black and white photograph come to life.
