Track
plan
The layout is situated in two rooms :-
4.2 meters x 3 meters and 2 meters x 2 meters
The layout is all AC and all bakelite track
|
This is a view of the main station
situated on the lower level. The
Manyways units have been raised around the station complex to two levels. On the left the storage yards can be
seen. A total of 4 trains can be run
simultaneously |
The other side of the station shows
the engine yard, on the left the rolling stock yard with a conveyor
straddling the tracks, whilst to the right and rear the part of the upper
level can be seen. The two levels can be operated
separately but with two lines connecting them enabling trains to move between
the levels. |

The complex entry to the station and
yards shows the many possibilities for switching tracks from some of the 80 plus
points all operated by remote control on the layout. Signals too operate from
the control centre |
|
A close up view of the station shows some of
the early pre-war stock on the layout.
Altogether 16 full length trains can be made up and stored on the
siddings. Built up over many years, Neale has
just moved house and the layout taken down. He plans to build a new layout to
a new design starting this coming winter. ( 2003) |
