Hi all
I’m planning another micro diorama build.
This will involve the same type of oak plinth I have used on previous builds.
The diorama will be themed around a distillery yard.
The plinth work surface is 9cms x 7cms.
My loco of choice will be the new tooled 'Ruston & Hornsby' loco by Hornby.
These little locos were prevalent within the distillery industry.
More to follow with pictures...

The loco is 54mm, the Conflat that comes with it is 81mm
Did you mix up cms and inches maybe?

Hi Helmut
You are correct about the sizes,
I plan to only use the loco on my micro diorama.

Hi Si.
Thanks for your kind words and comments.
It’s a great idea about joining all the dioramas together.
I plan to only use the loco on this diorama,
but I’m planning a bit bigger diorama in the future,
with a running loco and wagon.

Hi
Work started on the diorama a couple of days ago when the plinth arrived.
The stone wall sections have been built, painted and weathered.
Once this was complete I fixed them in place.
The OO gauge track has had its web removed, as it makes the track look more authentic.
The rails have been rusted, but I need to add sleeper grime to the sleepers tomorrow.
But for now a progress picture..

Hi Si.
Thanks for your reply.
The track I use on all my dioramas is 00-gauge Peco Setrack code-100.
Hope this make things clearer.
With these types of track you need to cut the web off so it looks more life like.

Hi Kevin.
I purchased a Ruston & Hornsby 48DS some time ago,
as the motive power for a micro layout I built.
I must say I'm pretty impressed with it.
It runs nicely, with the right controller,
and goes through tight radius Peco points without the extra car wired in.
Something a 48DS would be prefect for, a micro diorama!
Regards, James
