The "I really should think of a name" tramway..

[3 minutes of fame]

Time to unpack the buildings, cut back a few plants and play trains!


This is a general view of the terminus, with both the permanent (3d printed) and less robust wooden buildings. Stock out today includes a couple of trams and my new rake of Ffestiniog Bug Boxes and Flying Benches.


Down by the forge, the blacksmiths are discussing the price of iron whether they need to shore the roof up a little more.


Down by the harbour, sun bathing and games around the lighthouse are the order of the day


At the old church, some visitors are admiring a recently uncovered sarcophagus


The permanent way inspector makes a check on the new servo controlled points and deems everything in order.

I'm sure most of you have seen my other posts, so I won't go into much detail, but suffice to say everything is kit, scratch built, 3d printed or laser cut. Track is Cliff Barker Gauge 1 and all stock is battery powered.

A few more cameos from around the layout


Who is this waiting for a tram?

It can only be Marilyn Monroe!


Stenchpipe Pete is banned from using any indoor toilet in the town, so he has an outside privy situated at the very end of the platform. He does need to remember to lock the door however, as a gentle breeze will blow it open..



It must be a warm day, as there's passengers on the top deck of the tram. They will get a great view of the countryside from there however.


The signalman has popped down from the box, and is inspecting his personal bomb shelter. It's not clear where the smell of wee comes from, but the finger of suspicion is pointing at the night shift..


Through the miracles of modern photography, we are able to see inside the signal box. The signalman is ready to accept the next tram and guide it into the correct platform. The radio system will be useful, as the signals are not used currently!

How about the GranTram Tramway?

How about the GranTram Tramway?

Perilously close to Grandad's tramway, and I think (hope) I have a few years before I become that...

But when you do, you will realize how much fun it is.....

I was trying to think Grantham without using the full name..
