Hi All

This is a layout that four of us have re made from three baseboards which have been loane to use. When they were obtained they had some track and some very dubious electrics. The four of us Paul Harrison, Gerry Partridge, Brian Carpenter and myself stripped the whole down and rebuilt the whole other than some of the original trackwork.These shots are the end reuslts. It is intended in the near future to futher extend the layout by about a further 8ft.

Enjoy

Peter

Hi Pete, very nice it certainly has alot of potential, how long is the layout overall at present? Obviously your lucky enough to have the space required. Regards Martyn.

I saw this excellent layout in operation at Hazel Grove last October and was seriously contemplating copying just the station end board (photo below) as a microlayout. Passenger and freight facilities, it has it all on a "pointless" single baseboard.
