Cottleston Park comes out of storage.

Last Saturday our club??™s N Gauge layout, Cottleston Park, was finally set up following a year in storage. Fortunately it was secure and dry, so the scenics are none-the-worst from their ordeal. Controllers are being plugged in on Friday, so we can see how the electrics have fared.

Originally built as a UK outline layout, set from the 1980s onwards, changing tastes and club membership has resulted in insufficient UK stock to do the layout justice. The question is what to do with Cottleston Park, which is a nice looking layout, and in recent times has become more and more reliable. Looks like a change in the location portrayed may be in the offing, but where? Watch this space??¦

The layout is due for exhibition in February, so we have a little time to do some modifications. New pictures will follow in due course??¦
