Auch Ae is a 4mm scale Scottish Region locomotive shed based in the 1960s. It is very much work in progress but showing it in a part built state gives the opportunity to see how a layout is built. All the track work has been laid using Peco code 75 track and wired for DCC operation. Buildings on the layout are scratch built and are based on prototypes in Scotland. The layout will be operated with a mixture of steam and diesel locomotives with many featuring working sound.  

Bazil Radford station is the terminus station on a 12 miles single track branch line. The line leaves the main line at Bazil Radford Junction and terminates in the small market town of Bazil Radford. The line was built by the Great Western Railway and after nationalism and BR's regional boundary changes it is now operated by a mix of ex GWR/LMS and BR Standard Classes of motive power.  All the buildings have been scratch built on this layout, with the track plan promoting movement.

Bristol Avon Bridge may remind you of a certain large station in Bristol in an era when the evenings and early hours of the morning had a bustling newspaper, parcels and post office traffic flowing to and from the South West. The layout depicts platforms 3 and 5, their avoiding lines and the Severn Beach bay to the north and motorail terminal platform to the south. Pause a while to watch long distance trains change crew or loco. Regular HST services mix with mk1 to mk3 regional services to Weymouth, Fishguard, South Wales and beyond Exeter. The station pilot fusses over motor rail and parcels formations, while Speed-link services for Severn Tunnel Jn and beyond arrive in the avoiding lines. DCC control allows flexibility to create a bustling, noisy, environment. Signalling is automated, many thanks to TrainTech for support in developing this. The operating era spans almost 20 years, liveries Blue through Intercity, sectorisation and Rail Express Systems. The scene is compressed, between the Post Office conveyor bridge and the Bath Road Bridge, after crossing the River Avon “cut”. The great trainshed is a representation, hopefully capturing the essence of Bristol as you view the coming and goings from platform 3, the booking hall or the buffet! The buildings and platform canopies have been an experiment in laser cut components, supplied by LCUT and bespoke structures created with help from friends. The signal box is the guardian of the old Bath Road locomotive depot, and the Post Office conveyor buildings are both scratch built from Photos. I hope you enjoy Bristol Avon Bridge, “BABs”.

The Dunwood Railway was an industrial line built to convey timber from the Dunwood Forest to processing plants along the line, which had a connection to British Railways. The line used a variety of second hand rolling stock including steam and diesel locomotives bought from other industrial concerns. The locomotives were serviced at Dunwood Engine Shed, which is depicted on this layout. Situated within the forest the shed provided basic facilities accessed along a spur line off the main running line. In operation the layout will show the arrivals, movements and departures within shed limits.  The time is assumed to be the late 1950s. It was time when some industrial concerns were sometimes using hired in locomotives from British Railways, and at Dunwood Engine shed it may be possible to see some small BR locomotives as well as the resident fleet. Most of the locomotives are kit built examples, with a few detailed and weathered ready to run engines where appropriate.

The Henley -In- Arden Line, a twice -Derelict Railway and is here a rebirth in Model Form. In 1861 a private company was formed to build a railway from Rowington Junction to Kingswood (now Lapworth) to Henley-in-Arden a little over 3 miles. Five years later, when the line was half made, funds ran short, and work on the line was suspended. The line lay derelict for twenty-eight years. Then came another and larger scheme and the project rejuvenated so work on the long-neglected line was resumed in1889, and by 1894 the line was ready for use. The G.W.R worked the single line service from the very outset and took it over in 1900. However, in 1914 the passenger service was suspended although goods continued to pass until 1916 when the service was closed all together. During the 1980’s when I ran my small business in Hatton, I not only saw remnants of the line but, walked most of what was left before the M40 wiped nearly all trace of the line. Well as per usual I have massaged fact with more than a soupcon of fiction and added a dash of essence to create a might have been 1939 - 1950 version of the original. Adding at least on the timetable station halts at Rowington and Lowsonford The track layout is similar as are the buildings although using artistic licence the Station building is now timber and not brick and I have moved Potato Lane bridge to help conceal the fiddle yard. Points are constructed from copper clad sleepers to which the rail is soldered. but the plain track is SMP. The power supply and control are by DCC Power Cab, rolling stock is mostly kit built but the locomotives are proprietary models from Dapol.

Illie Town is a small modern image layout based in Cheshire. Passenger services are operated by Arriva Wales, East Midlands, Cross Country and Northern. On the freight side, there's a ballast siding and a warehouse that imports steel, which are served by a variety of locos from different companies. There's a two-road loco depot with a separate fuelling point. The layout is over 20 years old and has been on the exhibition circle previously known as Bridge Street, but a lot of work has gone into making it Illie Town. Though the track plan is pretty much the same, we added the bay platform, fuelling point and warehouse for added interest, along with new background scenery. Fully wired for DCC and controlled by NCC power cab, all turnouts and signals are analogue. With a daily timetable of over 400 movements, there's always something to watch. 

Leigh St George is a fictional market town, somewhere in the Midlands. Set between 1990 & 1996, the station comprises of two platforms and a small station building. A TMD depot and fuelling point is situated to the south of the layout operated by BR Rail freight. Royal Mail occupies the former British Rail goods siding and platform for their mail & parcels trains. A stabling point is situated to the west of the layout for resting engines, and a type 15 signal box is situated to the east of the layout, which was saved from demolition by the local railway enthusiasts club. At the back of the station is a row of houses, known locally as “Railway Terrace” and contains a fish & chip shop called “The Cod father” and a pub called the “Lamb and Flag”.

Oakenshaw is a fictitious West Yorkshire mill town set in the early 1960's located somewhere near to the real town of Keighley on the Airedale line. Like so many of the Yorkshire mill towns the layout portrays a town in a valley centred around a river crossing. Regional boundary changes in 1957 brought this former Midland Railway Station into the short lived North Eastern Region of British Railways. The station is very much based on Midland Railway practice and the scale is 4mm using "OO" gauge fine scale code 75 track. All the buildings on the layout are scratch built, mainly using thick card for the basic structure. These were covered with plasticard to replicate stone or brick finishes. The structures have then been painted and weathered to represent the prototypes from the area. The fiddle yard features sixteen roads and is capable of holding 24 separate trains. All the buildings on the layout are scratch built, mainly using thick card for the basic structure. These were covered with plastikard to represent stone or brick finishes. Trains are made up of correctly trains for the era and location that are hauled by a mixture of steam and diesel locomotives. 

Pirton Sidings was on the Birmingham to Gloucester main line south of Worcester. The layout features Pirton Signal box, level crossing and sidings together with a model of the former Wadborough station. The whole catalyst for the layout was when Hornby introduced what they call the Holy Trinity Church model into their Skaledale range of trackside model buildings. It appears to be a pretty accurate replica of St. Peters Church in Pirton, with its distinctive black and white tower. The layout was then constructed to showcase this model The layout is exhibited by the PW Gang (Pirton and Wadborough) and features trains that would have operated on the line in the 1950's and 1960's.

The station was three miles south of the town of Redditch, on the line which left the Birmingham to Gloucester main line at Barnt Green and re-joined it again at Ashchurch near Tewkesbury. The line ran through the towns of Redditch and Evesham. At its beginning it was operated by the Midland Railway until it became part of the London Midland and Scottish Railway in 1923. At nationalization in 1948 it was part of the London Midland Region and, following reorganization of the boundaries the Western Region from 1958 until final closure on 6th July 1964. The station facilities comprised a yard that could handle up to fifty-five wagons in its heyday, a signal box, with a 16-lever frame and goods shed with a single cart/lorry porch and loading cane. There was also a cattle dock and weigh bridge. In the yard there was space for household coal and timber merchants, which included T & M Dixon, The Alcester Co-Operative Society and G. Shimpton.  Some modeller’s licence has been taken at the Redditch end of the layout to give some additional points of interest

Of the constituent companies of the Southern Railway the London Brighton & South Coast Railway was the only one not to cross the river Thames to have a terminus on the north bank near to the lucrative City of London with its growing commuter traffic, being content to terminate at London Bridge. Temple Bridge is a model of a fictitious station built by the LB&SCR to right this wrong, modelled in the 1950 to 1960s BR(S) period. It is located between Charring Cross and Blackfriars stations in the Temple area of the Embankment, roughly where the present-day Temple District line tube station is located between Somerset House and the Inner Temple legal office area. Temple Bridge station occupies the area between The Strand at the eastern end of the Aldwych and Victoria Embankment. The station fronts on to The Strand and has been rebuilt by the Southern Railway in the 1930s in their concrete Art Deco style, the station buildings and bridge over the Embankment were reconstructed to modernise the station and of course the signal box was replaced with a new concrete glass house style box when the station was re-signalled with colour light signalling. Below the signal box the Temple Bridge tube station on the District line has been rebuilt in the Charles Holden style of the 1930's The station forecourt has a bus station as well as the normal drop off and pickup facilities, railway offices, shops and taxi rank. The station concourse has the remains of its LB&SCR overall roof, now in the 1950's devoid of its glass due to bomb damage during WW2 this gives our passengers access to five platforms. Services are worked by a variety of third rail EMU's ranging from the converted steam stock 4SUB through the Southern Railway 2 HAL and BIL units to the latest BR 2 and 4 EPB's & 4CEP units. The river bridge is a 4 arch wrought iron structure on granite piers carrying three tracks across to the south bank at Southwark. Just off the South side is a 2-road locomotive depot providing light servicing and storage for the locomotives. The arches of the curving viaduct are home to trades and businesses and the river side is dominated by an LCC Council block of flats in the typical hipped roof yellow brick style common across central London from the 1920's.

Todmolden Midland is a former Midland Railway terminus 48 by 14 inches with a 2-foot cassette fiddle yard. This is small even for N gauge, but the scenic section includes station, goods shed, coal yard, loco shed, canal scene, a   couple of West Yorkshire mills, a pub, and distant views of hills. Motive power is former Midland Railway and London Midland Scottish Railway along with some BR Standards, some visiting ex LNER locos on summer holiday trains and even one or two diesels and DMUs. Rumour has it that Holbeck has occasionally sent a Jubilee or a Scot on a summer special. Track is PECO with SEEP operated points; control is analogue via an excellent controller designed and built by Warley Model Railway Club members. Stock is by Graham Farish, Dapol, Peco, N gauge society, Union Mills, and some kit-built items. Scenery uses various products including the excellent (and rare) Graham Avis trees. Buildings are mainly scratch built with a couple of modified kits.  PECO N gauge stone building sheets have proved very effective. However, the church is made from OO Wills sheet! Some buildings are scratch built Settle and Carlisle designs which are justified by the line’s presumed historic origins. Mill buildings and pub are scratch built, based on types of building found in the area. The backscene uses acrylics.      

Two Locks is an N Gauge layout with the canal at the forefront, with two locks rising to the canal basin. Running behind the canal is the railway with local station and town. The station having a platform each for the up and down line and the third bay platform for local DMU services. The trains are operated using DCC operation and because the layout is not set in any particular era, it can operate using stock from any of the follow three eras of 1960s steam or diesel, British Rail blue or the present day.

Torcy is located in the Department of Seine - Maritime in the Haute Normandie. (upper Normandy), Region of Northern France at the end of a single-track branch of the line from Rouen to Dieppe. Torcy is a real place, but the railway is completely fictitious. The survival of the imaginary branch line is due, in the main, to a distribution depot set up to transfer goods arriving by rail to road vehicles for delivery to this area of Northern France, the level of freight traffic is sufficiently healthy to require several trains a day. In addition, loaded trains of open wagons containing gravel from a quarry up the line, that only has access from the Torcy direction, enter the station area to reverse before departing to Soteville yard in Rouen for onward dispatch. The station also survives and is served by a regular passenger service from Rouen operated by diesel powered push-pull trains and multiple units. There is a twice daily through train to/ from Paris and occasional steam hauled specials. The period modelled is in the era between 2005 and 2008 and the railway is controlled by a Lenz DCC system.
