Model Rail Inspiration Part 11 P4 Finescale and OO9 Layouts

The final part of the 'inspiration' series. This time covering Scalefour P4 one of the finescale scales and OO9 for narrow gauge modelling.

Great footage, great presentation and wonderful layouts. I'm quite familiar with the real locations of one or two, a joy to see those areas in model form👍😊

The video was great .Enjoyed it very much .Hope to see more .Take care.

Really superb footage ! Thank you for your work from Australia. It is very inspiring.

Hi Andrew, Glad you enjoyed it!

Some serious detailing on the layouts. Love it. Thanks for sharing Andrew.

Hi Jim, You're very welcome. Being a finescale modeller takes a lot of patience and dedication. I met one modeller who couldn't quite work out the full size of a signal box so he found a photo and counted the bricks. That is commitment.

Hi Andrew, it has been a real pleasure and inspiration watching your series. Many thanks. Now I can’t wait to get back to modeling.

Hi Michael, Thats great to hear! Hope you getting a bit more freedom in Italy. I'm planning more content soon so keep watching. Andrew

Good to see a True Scale -to- Gauge Model. Too many compromises in the General Modelling Market. True models usually require scratchbuilding Motive Power Chassis ( steam or Diesel) for British P4/S4; and Sn3.5 or On3.5 for colonial 3'6" ( Australia, S.Africa).
From 3'6" Queensland.

Hi Astrid, True Scale is a real labour of love with no compromises. A lot of work but worth it in the end. Andrew

009 does not use "standard n gauge track". Just because it's 9mm gauge doesn't mean it's n gauge.

Hi, I will quote from Wikipedia
"OO9, often also denoted as 009 or 00-9 is a model railway scale and gauge combination of 4 mm scale and 9 mm (0.354 in) gauge tracks, which models a prototype track gauge of 2 ft 3 in (686 mm). It is a common choice in the United Kingdom for the modelling of narrow-gauge railways whose prototype gauges lie approximately between 2 ft (610 mm) and 2 ft 6 in (762 mm). The 9 mm (0.354 in) track gauge is used by N gauge model railways, a common commercial scale, which means that a selection of wheels, track, and mechanisms is readily available." Hence my statement "standard n gauge track".

009 modellers do not use "standard n gauge track".
