EXHIBITION MANAGER GUIDE
|
 Dagnell End has been in the planning and construction for many
years. The layout was conceived as a fictitious London based station on the
Hounslow loop on the former London and South Western Railway line out of the
London Waterloo terminus. The station is somewhere around where the real station
of Brentford is situated. Much modelers license has been employed with a
working below ground tube line and station at the front of the layout. The
layout was planned as a challenge in building an urban landscape where the club
was used to building layouts with green fields. All buildings are scratch built
with many based on London prototypes, which have been photographed on a number
of field visits by club members. The Underground trains are modified EFE models,
which work on an automatic cycle. Main line trains represent the variety of
trains that could be seen on the South West section of the Southern Region in
the 1960’s. Control of the trains will use a DCC system.
