The following pictures and descriptions are supplied by various people who have used my track parts to make some of the most beautiful layouts in 'Gauge 1' and 'Gauge 3'. If you would like your efforts shown here, just email me with a brief description & some pictures of what you have achieved.

It could be just a simple diorama like this from Steve Cook:-

"A diorama in Gauge 1 done for this years Camrail Exhibition, based on the shingle sidings owned by the Southern Railway at Dungeness (and long since disappeared). Its main purpose is a photographic background, but it has also been a good learning step in modelling in ScaleOne32. Anyway, as a taster of a current work in progress, have a look, Steve"

(I HAVE THIS PICTURE AS MY COMPUTER DESKTOP PICTURE, LOVELY - THANKS - CLIFF)

"I’ve also been having a play with the nickel silver rail I ordered from you, end result is shown the enclosed photo, I hope you don’t mind the ‘mutilation’ of your components! Have to say, the quality of the mouldings is fantastic, was good fun being able to vary the length of the keys within the chairs, think the overall result looks fairly good for what will be well aged track to go a small photo diorama. Steve" And then this was used for the Dungeness Diorama

From Australia, Peter's track was one of the first outside the UK to have the new "Finescale" track. "Your rail continues to perform brilliantly. I have about 240 yards of fine-scale track down and am pressing ahead with both super-elevation and ballasting. I've enclosed a quite nice picture - I hope you approve of my efforts to complement your product!! Best wishes, Peter Noonan"

	Beautiful sweeping curves and pointwork, from Peter Armstrong's layout. Using Standard Scale brass track (the finescale was not quite available then, sorry Peter).

These 3 pictures are from Steve Cook again, now pressing forward in the Garden with a simple "Out & Back" from the storage shed. This is using the new Finescale track with Stainless Steel rail. "I’ve enclosed a photo to show current progress, been going two weeks now and starting the track assembly tonight. It’s certainly not going to set the world on fire, being nothing more than a single line, end to end run of about 50 foot in total. The line will be extended further to the left of where it stops in the photo, I just have to move the shed first as the line will run into that."

	Guido from Italy, wanted to match some existing timber track he bought some years ago. "hi cliff, yez, I thought I told you... pic of construction pls find enclosed. Nearly all (!) the parts needed some work... so it was really no out-of-the-box building! But the point is working and looking good, and testing with hand-drawn loco and wagons was successful. Thanks for interesting and regards, guido"

From James in Denmark "Hello Cliff, As requested, some photo´s of my oncomming garden rail track. I have read quite a few books on Garden Rails, but it is still a bigger job than I expeted, but I know you will think it worth while, I do! Regards, James Symons"

From Germany, Dietrich loves to radio control live steam. "In conclusion I can say that I am very impressed with the performance of the new RC certainly in this loco. I also operated the RC with the keyfob and this works fine given a little practice. I have yet to try the 2nd receiver which goes into the SNCF 232U 1 the 4 cylinder compound engine. I will be away from home for one week so this will have towait until I get back."

John Moroney has been busy with the ballast!!! "As you see it is a big railway when it comes to ballasting. This is part of Wellsworth Lakes Railway in Rowlands Castle which used battened wooden track. The longnitudinal battens do maintain a level as the sleepers are not individual entities but all baseboards can move with the change in weather and temperature. Scale ballast with the special bonding agent gives the track greater solidity and in fact shares some of the characteristics of full scale ballast. I am delighted with the result as it helps to convert a test track into a scale model garden railway. The model village adds to that effect. John"

	At last the track bed and basic circuit has been installed. If you recall I've used your gauge-widened track throughout, and I'm delighted to say that the inaugural run proved no tight spots, even for a 4-6-0 despite a minimum radius of 2.5 metres. The lost-wax brass fishplates were very effective in ensuring smooth joins especially where necessary on the curves, and would recommend them to anyone. I was determined that the track bed wouldn't dominate our garden, and am pleased that the end result is quite integrated into the flower beds, and of course will be even more so when the plants have grown. I hope you enjoy this shot of the inaugural run. As pleased as ever with the rail and track. Now for the sidings, passing loop, and steam-up bay........ Best regards and thanks for a smashing product. Robin Mosedale (South Cerney)

	I have been a model engineer for over forty years and have a house full of 5" gauge steam loco's, various scale traction engines, i.c. engines, and stationary steam engines. About eighteen months ago I decided to start modelling in Gauge1 as I have run out of space and what you see in the pic are the first examples. I get the buzz from the making process rather than ' playing ' with what I make, and have a well equipped workshop with CNC and manual machines, however I am planning on making a demonstration line hence the track. Regards Mike

You recently replied to an e-mail I sent with the information I needed, in your reply you requested a photo. I have attached a photo - the track is very small but it does allow me to run my locos without having to travel to a gauge1 associate. In spite of its small size I am delighted with it, the locos run very well on your track, and with the superelevation even when a loco has accidentally been given too much throttle it has gone round the curves without any problem - much to my relief.

	Latest article of rolling stock to come of the bench attached. It is a New South Wales Govt Railways parcel van, which I now have a few extras to build in the new year for clients. All the best Tim
