Welcome to Linton Cement Works.com

This is the website for the 3mm Model Railway Layouts of Andrew Shillito. I have been working in 3mm for about 40 years or so. It started when I wanted a new hobby, I had always vaguely been interested in railways and had had a TTR (Trix Twin Railway) as a child. I looked in various shops considered 2mm , but 'N' gauge had not come in then and I decided on 3mm or TT3 as it was then known, and I have stuck with it ever since and never regretted it, although I do dabble in 7mm trams and 16mm live stem in the garden and occasionally involve myself in model boats and indoor electric aircraft.

Joining the 3mm Society was the best thing that I have ever done, I have made many friends and through them learnt a lot about model railways in general and 3mm in particular. Having done 10 years on the committee as Publicity I have now handed this job onto others to carry on the good work.

• Linton Cement Works - This a 3mm scale 12mm gauge layout based on a typical exchange siding and loading point for a cement works in North Kent. The works also shunts to various other industries.

• Lindhurst- This layout is built to 3mm scale on 14.2 finscale track using ply sleepers, plastic chairs and 3mm Society rail and depicts a Colonel Stephens type light railway in mid Kent in 1936 and is my first attempt at an 'historical' layout

• Emlyn - This is a narrow gauge line built to 3mm scale on 6.5mm gauge and shows a typical narrow gauge line in mid Wales.

• Ballylyn- This a 3mm scale line of a typical Irish 3'0" narrow gauge railway, as always built to 3mm scale on 9mm track.
