O gauge for O gauge

 First update of 2026,  can't believe it's 2026 !   

How about a garden railway in O gauge,  in O gauge !  The Station Master of Windrush Junction thought it'd be a great idea to start a model railway club,  as he doesn't have enough to do with railways.  The Windrush Gauge O Group (WGOG) has been formed,  even Colonel Stephens himself was at the opening meet.  

I did my best at estimating 7mm/foot,  aided by the computer for printing out lined drawings of LNER coaches and the Flying Scotsman (what else, nothing but class), colored with pencil.  It's nice to have 4472,  if only in mini miniature form, on the layout.  It brings back happy memories of visiting a friend's garden railway many years ago.  The concerning aspect was, I was beginning to enjoy making an entire layout with trains out of paper, in a single afternoon.  Time to get back to the large stuff I think, before this goes too far.  I was starting to imagine making Bath Green Park & the entire S&DJR, in this, um, size.
