Title: Can't afford your dream O gauge layout? Crowdbegging is the answer.

QuoteTo Build a Large O Gauge Railway Kirkby Bank

I am a retired Telephone Engineer and have started this fund raising to help with the expenses of building Firstly a large Shed 5 Meters x 12 Meters and the cost of track work. The gauge of my Railway is O Gauge, That's 43 scale.

Your typical Hornby 00 railway is 76 Scale which is about half the size.

I would hope that anyone who is generous enough to donate could visit the layout. I have a Facebook Page and will hope to lunch a YouTube channel once building work of the Main Shed commenced.

I'm currently building a smaller (9m x 3.3m) shed for " Brickmakers Lane" and that's costing twice what he's asking, so how much does he expect to spend on the model itself......bizarre and rather brazen I think!

Of course if anyone wants to send me some money to continue building you are most welcome!

This reminds me of the time when my building society manager offered payments to nominated charities, I replied how do I get on the list of charities, he was not amused!
