My friend Stewart has produced this fantastic work of model-engineering. I have done my best to photograph it but I must say these images do not do it full justice. This model is very detailed and very very small!
I recommend you pay a visit to St Edmund’s Hall, Southwold on April 29th 2017 where you will be able to see this brilliant working model for yourself.
Loch MacToggue
"For a complete change (after 4 layouts of assorted
gauges inspired by the Southwold Railway) I thought I would try something very different in T Gauge (1:450) as a preface to modelling the 7¼” gauge
Blyth Valley Light Railway miniature railway in my proposed 4mm scale working
layout of the proposed Southwold Railway Steamworks leisure park in Southwold.
I wanted to use T gauge to create a proper working layout rather than
just a quirky talking piece, working in standard gauge for the first time to
create an imaginary location; with tunnels,
rough water and lots of trees and water craft in action within a
mountainous setting.
Despite their
Japanese origin the trains don’t look at all out of place, and many people (on
seeing it for the first time) say the layout looks just like Scotland. Why the
name? It just happens another hobby of mine is doing cryptic crosswords and
MacToggue (pronounced ‘McTog’) is an anagram of ‘TGauge.com’ - simple! Visit
their site to see the range available. The layout will be exhibited for the
first time at St Edmund’s Hall, Southwold on April 29th 2017".
