OO Gauge Layouts
Attlynn
Daisy Lane
‘Daisy Lane TMD’ is a diesel depot set in East Anglia in the late 1980’s / early
1990’s. The facility provides a loco refuelling and a crew signing on point as
well as maintenance and stabling of locomotives. A wide variety of loco
classes and liveries visit ‘Daisy Lane TMD’ including class 08’s, 20’s, 31’s,
37’s, 45’s, 47’s, 50’s, 56’s and 60’s all of which are in a variety of liveries
including Network SouthEast, British Rail Blue, Railfreight and one-off special
liveries.
Fairwood Junction

Horncastle
The short branch line from Woodhall Junction to Horncastle opened in 1855 and was an instant success. Freight traffic would have predominantly been with agricultural services, in the form of grain, fertiliser, sugar beet(seasonal) and other agricultural bi-products. Most of the freight would have been local trip workings from Lincoln or Peterborough.
Passenger services would be in the hands of LN allocated 105 or 114 DMU's, connecting with Lincoln to Boston services at Woodhall Junction.

Milo Mill

Silverbury
“Silverbury” is located at the edge of both Network South-East (BR blue) and Chiltern Railways (Network Rail) so a variety of services would terminate at this point. It is also a mainline for long distance and Cross-Country Passenger, and through freight trains. This provides interest for both operators and viewers.
EM Gauge Layout
Roadwater
Roadwater is a "might of been"; station on a truncated GWR branch line in the 1920's. Whilst
Roadwater did have a station on the West Somerset Mineral Railway, it was closed at an earlier date,
I have changed history and it is now connected to the Minehead branch at Washford.
O Gauge Layouts
Barley End
Barley End is a rural country halt. The main employment is the warehouse which receives barley by rail and transferred to road to deliver to the mill.
Marshside
Marshside is an O gauge 1930s period LMS layout that represents a fictitious branch terminus
serving a small town on the southern shore of the Ribble estuary in Lancashire. The line is
assumed to have been constructed by the West Lancashire Railway, which, in real life, ran
between Preston and Southport, and was taken over by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway in
1897, subsequently becoming part of the LMS at the grouping in 1923.
Napier Road
Napier Road is a factious layout set in the early 1960s in the North Eastern Region of British Railways.
With the demise of steam, new diesel locos were appearing on the nation's railways.
This makes the layout quite distinctive, as we run only 'green diesel era' locos.
The Yard
Built to 7 mm scale with track gauges of 32 mm and 16.5 mm, The Yard is an entirely freelance industrial type railway, featuring standard and narrow gauge trains fitted with sound, radio-controlled gantry crane and radio-controlled lorries.
Stock is either kit built, scratch built or modified RTR. All the buildings are scratch built from MDF, cut on a laser cutter.
1:35th Gauge Layout
Gants Hill
Gants Hill was inspired by the wartime underground Plessey Company’s factory between Gants Hill and Wanstead on the unfinished Central Line Tunnels in East London.
A narrow gauge railway was constructed using Battery Electric locomotives by Wingrove and Rogers. Using OO track in a simple circuit with a passing loop at the rear, the gauge represents about 18 to 20 inches. 3 cameo scenes can be viewed on 3 sides showing various scenes based on the photos available.
Please note layouts attending may be subject to change due to circumstances outside of the clubs control.
