Broad horizons, narrow gauge.

I've been dabbling in narrow gauge recently. It's pretty liberating to not worry about things being strictly prototype.
I've got a germ of an idea for an O-16.5 layout in my head, so watch this space. Meanwhile, some pictures.
This an etch made by A1 models to modify the Bachmann Junior shunter. This was my first brass kit so it's a bit patchy here and there, but I'm quite pleased with it.

Our next victim is a Peco O-16.5 open wagon. This goes together very nicely.

And last on the slab is a Smallbrook machinery wagon. It's a cast resin kit so feels nice and robust.

I just need to decide on a colour scheme, then maybe my light railway ambitions will move forward.
