My latest Live Steam locomotive again comes from Roundhouse. Katie is of typical narrow gauge saddle tank locomotive design. Though not a model of any particular engine, she draws inspiration and features from a number of famous builders like Hunslet, Bagnall and Pecket etc.

Since the article on the Train Room last year I have done very little on the layout owing to various factors and so I have decided that it has been left far too long.

Gauges and Scales of Model Railways |
|
|
|
|
Gauge is the distance between the inner sides of the two parallel rails that make up the railway track. With the earlier 3 rail systems you use the outer rails.
Scale is the size of the model compared the actual 'real life' locomotive.

I'm Begining To Wonder Should We Have Started' |
|

We decided that we would put an expanse of water at the back of the layout in the Train Room and also include a canal - I am wondering now if it was such a good idea.

Our Model Narrowboat Fleet |
|
|
|
|
Hardy & Hood are models of working narrow boats 72’ in length. They are modelled in both G and OO scales. Hardy is a ‘Butty boat’ and Hood a motorboat. A Butty Boat was built either as a horse boat, which was subsequently towed (by a motorboat), or a boat built to be towed by a motorboat. Note the difference in style of the tillers.
With the exception of ‘Holiday Cruiser’ these boats were made for us by AM Models.
