A timely reminder about the 3mm Society.
Founded in 1965 to cater for all those modelling in 3mm scale, from Triang TT to the scratchbuilder. Well worth the membership fee, indeed some would say worth the money for the excellent Society Magazine alone.
Considered by many to be the ideal scale, it is just unfortunate that there is no current British prototype ready-to-run trade support. Those who lack space for 'OO' gauge, and find 'N' gauge too small often turn to 3mm, especially the active modeller who is not afraid of,and is prepared to 'have a go' at, making kits and scratchbuilding things.
You could have a train running around in no time using secondhand Triang TT stock, just to get you started and keep the interest up until you get up and running properly. In a couple of weeks you could have a rake of Society wagon kits trundling around behind a Jinty or a class 31.
