  • BEIJIAO - REAL WORKING STEAM IN 2004!


    TEAMYAKIMA

    Almost certainly the UK's first (and only?) large Chinese HO roundy-roundy layout.

     

    26ft x 10ft , requires XLB transit van. Based in Watford. Six operators

    This is a layout that tells a story that 99% of exhibition visitors don't know - the very last BIG steam operation in the world taking place in the 21st century! So this appeals to railfans, but also to the family audience as I have packed the layout with unusual features to engage with the 'average' exhibition visitor including authentic sound effects and working level crossing barriers but there are many others - come and see for yourselves at Fareham October 2019 or Warley November 2019.
