This particular narrow gauge model railway layout was built over ten years ago and has since then been safely stored in the garage attic. I was recently speaking to a work colleague about his plans for a small industrial railway layout (a small mine) and I was telling him about this model. I decided to renovate the display and take it into work to show him. The layout is in fact based on an old wardrobe shelf and measures just 31 inches x 18 inches.
Most of the buildings and structures are scratch-built using balsa, plastic card and DAS modelling clay. The track is PECO 'crazy track' and is 16.5mm gauge with the layout built to 7mm =1 foot or 1/43.5 scale (O-Gauge). The 16.5mm track depicts a narrow gauge line of 2 foot 4 inches in this scale.
I am afraid that the running stock, which is also scratch-built is stored elsewhere and I am not sure it is still in working order. Now that the layout is back in the light of day, I will try to get some images of the engine (a narrow gauge diesel) and the wagons uploaded.

The name is taken from an old English name Ogam, meaning Stone, so the actual name could be read as Stone & Stone.
The layout featured in an issue of the 7mm Narrow Gauge magazine Narrow Lines.
