Penpont Dries: In quotes…

Very much the home straight, a few small jobs to attend to in the carry case as well as some cab side windows on the 08 but the wonderful Penpont is almost complete…

I’ve said a little about this project over the past week - today I’m just sharing some more photos as it inches closer to completion alongside quotes from friends and regulars - thanks to all of them, and you, for engaging with my latest distraction.


“It is certainly hard to believe its small footprint. As a scene it is so filled with character.”


“I love the minimalism of this!”


Penpont dries is such a restrained, thoughtful model, I particularly like the blue painted rainwater down pipes, they shout out English China Clays”



“I know how small this is, but when I see it in person, it will still surprise me!”

For once I find myself without worry about what comes next - there are plenty of layouts here to enjoy or work upon - this small piece has been a wonderful tonic to a flagging creativity. I find myself day dreaming of CP rail action red diesels, Santa Fe CF7s and trains over water not necessarily all connected. It’s just nice to feel excited about this hobby once more - so until next time, more soon…
