Size comparator especially for Mr Beesting.

1p = two and a bit old pennies.

It might be 2.4 old pennies, so not far off four far things, like Jupiter, Mars, Saturn and Uranus.

More 60cm railways, here is a diorama of an ambulance train picking up some wounded troops.
Bogie wagons are kits from Parkside-Dundas. Figures from WD models. Scratch built Simplex 20hp loco.
Sorry Different Camera, not that impressed with the photos.

I think Zak has a whole studio of them to cope with his build rate!

Great to see them though, all exquisite.
I hope my next is always better

I have many and diverse cameras, some are not digital and some have ceased to function, however my wife also has a camera which I pinch when my batteries are failing - mine seem to be failing more often nowadays. So there you are you long pocketed engineer you.

This Light Railway stuff is getting to me and I think I may try to build something a little larger.
I have just got a super book by Roy C Link, WDLR Album, superb information and details. A lot of inspiration for future models here.
