An overall view of the layout...

The green W4 has also had the grubby treatment. Also, a shot of the pair together.

Apologies for the lack of updates recently. To be honest not much as changed with the layout, just been adding little details here and there, like point levers, a few figures and some detritus scattered about. Also I have plucked up the courage to have a go at weathering my stock...the wagons are my first attempts and then I got brave and attacked the blue W4, quite pleased with the results.

Thank you very much for the comment. I don't think its too bad for my first foray in 00 for a good number of years.

The Peckett rests between shunt moves..

Hi Keith. The layout is about 5.5ft by 1ft.....the scenic section is 4ft long and there is a storage area about 1ft long beyond the loco shed...I used peco loco lifts as cassettes. There is a small hidden siding (fits 1 wagon) the other side of the warehouse opposite the loco fiddle yard.

Latest addition to the fleet.....finally got my hands on a small Peckett...

Sorry for lack of updates....lack of motivation has been suffered... However...Cobbydale Quay has finally got its walls installed.

A few more photos of Cobbydale Quay. The P class is waiting to depart with the evening workers train, while the Barclay pauses in its shunting activities.

My home based N gauge layout. The location is entirely fictional, although the station track layout is loosely based upon Barnoldswick. I tend to run it mainly as a preserved line, although pick up goods trains do make an appearance. Still bits and bats to work on though, when the mood strikes.

West End models is still in Colne....or was pre-covid

Evening all, First time posting a layout on here..... Cobbydale Quay is my first attempt at a 00 for a good while...... Designed as a small industrial shunting layout with a trackplan based on Canute Road Quay. Still some work to be done but quite liking the atmosphere of the layout already.....

How about some N gauge examples.... I have: 1x in the style of Andrew Barclay w/n2212 of 1946, in reality it ran with a different running number, as it was in industry, Hunslet built Brussels as converted to oil firing The maroon one is in the style of HE3794 of 1953, 'Cumbria' in its current condition, Finally I have RSH7086 'Norman' of 1943 in the condition she ran in prior to its current overhaul.... All bar Brussels are my own work. Brussels was a conversion done by a friend for his own layout, he also did the transfers and finishing touches to Norman.
