Narrow Gauge Model Railways In 7mm Scale.

Is a world where I can be in control. (Is nothing to do with religion directly as I could not find the right section to put this in so I ad to pick one alternative as none of the headings are suitable).

I love making these things. Coming up with ideas for the next build... Adding my character into what I make...

In a way creating ones little world reminds me of God creating what we live in...

If we are made in his image it kind of makes sense that we would imitate him, like a child does the parent. Yours is a benign hobby as well. If it was me I would be setting up huge crashes and catastrophes like in the Adams Family.

Nice fulfiling project you have going.
Creator God is just too good. I admit though the dust question still has me wondering a bit though seeing as I am allergic to it as well and have got a strong phobia to it and it is one of the bains of my life. Still amazed by we are made from dust. Surely not the same dust though as what I am allergic to. I think the Bible also says the enemies will get the dust... One question I will ask of God, God dust why lol.

Is the locomotive powered? You're doing amazing with scratch built models.

Yes it is powered. I have not finished it yet as I will need to make some buffers and couplings, but I have prepared the bufferbeams ready. The best way to describe the loco is a RTR bash. (Siilar to kitbashing where one begins with a kit and alters it into something else, I have done the same with this loco, but it has been very much altered from a factory made model. (RTR means "Ready To Run", which basically is a completed loco that comes ou the shops).
The loco used to be a 00 gauge loco (Similar to H0), but has been converted into a 7mm scale narrow gauge loco by removing and rebuilding the chimney and cab, along with altering the bufferbeams to match.
The cab has controls and a pressure gauge (Made from an old watch battery) and has clear plastic glazing. The cab was made from plasticard. The chimney is a small re-purposed fountain pen cartridge. The name and numberplates have been home made.

The waggons are all scratchbuilt in various stages of completion using tin with real rust, wood etc... One waggon made from offcuts of railway rails (The small tipping waggon). It is all good fun!
