I know alot are on 45mm rails but here are a few photos of my just completed 16mm scale 32mm gauge layout. It has taken around 8 months to get to this stage

[font="arial,helvetica,sans-serif"]I love your station building, what are its origins, also the telegraph poles , are they cut down Bachmann ones ? I've been thinking how to get mine looking more realistic before I plant them.[/font]
 
Which station building? one is a Lineside delights the other was an ebay find and came with 5 other buildings for £50 and is an old pendlebury kit.
they are cut up bachmann ones. I cut the bottom 'rung' of the pylon away to keep the height then took the middle insulators away

A beautiful little railway Matt. You would never believe that it's new, it looks really well established.

I like the JCB, where did that come from?
I was going to ask about that too! And also about the VW bug bus?

Very nice looking railway....
 
Thank you all for your nice comments!

The Digger is an old 1:25 scale ERTL kit (plastic airfix type) from america. Its actually a John Deere bucketed tractor.

The VW micro bus is an off the shelf 1:18 diecast model fitted with a basic £25 IP chassis.
 
Very nice, love the spiral - but that's a bit more Ffesterbahn than Tal-y-llyn!! ;)

Keep it coming, it really looks great, despite the funny gauge......:D:bigsmile:
 
A good looking railway. It looks like its been there longer than 8 months.
My railway, after 6 months, still looks like the "old" pic but with track!
 
Great looking railway :thumbup:

I spotted the length of standard gauge track in picture four. Are you having transporter wagons? Any pictures? :bigsmile:

In picture six the signal post looks mighty tall - pity the poor lampman :rolf: :rolf:
 
Very nice, scenery looks well established already
I wondered about the SG track too - L&M ?
 
Great line! And the tall signal? I remember the approach to Armley (Leeds) station - in a cutting with numerous overbridges - a pair of signal posts well over 60 feet tall! And I like the engine "wreck" too - reminds me of Gladstone (Oh Mr Porter). Enjoyed looking at your pics.
 
Our next door neighbour donanted the signal, Its meant for 5" gauge as he modelled the GVT in that gauge. He is now 7 1/4" and has the first ever romuals.

I have a RH L&M loco on the way and thanks to Mel I now have some standard gauge siding ends! I have a transporter wagon and a milk flat.
