No problem viewing that Frank. I wonder if he has done his own photography as well as the modelling. It certainly adds one heck of a difference.

Outstanding does not do it justice.

Its the little touches that I like . The closely observed waves on the night views of the lighthouse , the heartshaped vent on the privy door , the rack of magazines on the inside back wall of the news stand , a rusty mooring ring near the water on one of the piles , the vice on the bench in the engine shed to name a few.

All that space at the builders disposal yet he has opted for a relatively simple track plan . He must have an unending supply of patience when fitting allthose piles.

Takes modelling to a whole new level.

I was wondering what scale it was as well as its not immediately obvious but would guess by  looking at the relationship between  the size of the locos and rolling stock and the track it may be On30.

Anyone know ?

I've just left the guy a message on Facebook asking what scale.
If he gets back to me I'll let you know,

By guess work I would bet on On3

Thanks, Frank, so 'O' scale models running on 16.5mm track representing a 'narrow gauge'? You can see I'm no eggspurt in these matters!

S'good, innit, but how many people have that sort of space, drooly 'emoticon'.
