Welcome to the official blog of the Gumtown Kilns & Potteries Tramway Company.
The GK&P is a fictional narrow gauge tramway built on New Zealand's Coromandel Peninsula. The history of the line is interwoven with the actual history of a little town called Gumtown which today is known as Coroglen.
The GK&P today was also a 7/8ths scale (1:13.7) 32mm gauge (representing 18" gauge) garden railway in my back yard in outer South East Melbourne, Australia. Previously it was an On30 (1:48 scale, 16.5mm gauge, representing 30" gauge) model railway prior to my move from New Zealand to Australia.
I plan to document the GK&P from its conception through its building and eventual sale. There will be sidings along the way that take a look at some of the many varieties of interesting project undertaken on such a venture.
I hope you'll join me for what I hope to be an interesting journey along these narrow rails.
