Hi! You've reached Andy Anderson's Other Website. You know - the one where his Gn15 modelling pages hang out.

Year of the Iron Butterfly? When I was given this web space as part of my ADSL package, I called it 'Butterfly Brain'. The idea was that since my pd49 site had pretty much become fixed in its format and style, apqw69 would allow me free reign. Well, surprise, it never really happened. I found out about Gn15 and learned... well, I'm not sure. Someone said once that 'it is better to travel in expectation than to arrive'. Well, I've done a lot of that, so you might want to read about  the journey> .

I've been using the site as an unlinked repository for my Gn15 railway modelling stuff since I joined the gn15.info forum, so I've decided to give up the unequal struggle and devote this site to the modelling I've done. Even within Gn15, (and now 'gnine') though, I'm still a butterfly brain, as you'll discover if you read about my  projects> .

What's Gn15? Essentially, G 'scale' model trains running on 16.5mm gauge track to represent 'minimum gauges' of somewhere around 15?. But there's more to it than that, so why don't you have a look at the flyer produced by John Kennard ('Racing Hippo') with a little help from others of the Gnatterbox crowd: (open the PDF). You can read how about it was put together here, which gives a good idea of how the Gnatterbox works.

For someone like me, starting out in Gn15 can be a little daunting. There are some kits available and of course you can use both 16.5mm gauge mechanisms and half-inch scale doll's house accessories, but the idea of a shake-the-box layout is years away. Here are some resources you may find useful. more>
