the beginnings
After a long time working on Grandborough and getting frustraited with my lack of progress I had a clear up of old bits n bobs and found just about enough N gauge bits to put a small fiddle yard to terminus layout together.
So here is the history of Dunchurch castle
When the Rugby and Grandborough first surveyed the route between the two towns they would have to go through the earl of dunchurch's estate. well he was not too impressed untill he realised he could insist the build a short branch to his stately pile to keep him in coal, beer, wine, transport his workers and move his prize race horses to meetings. this would save him paying the exorbitant tolls on the Bilton bridge.
over time the branch came under the controll of the LMS.
the track plan is simple, due to this was all the points i had to hand , and will be operated with a farish 0 6 0 tank, a suburban coach for the rugby thrice daily service and a small selection of wagons and horse boxes
track is Peco code 55 and all the points will be fitted with peco point motrs
