1950-60’s East London – 00 in 4’x6’

[Hawksey]

Having a large surplus of set track and a few spare baseboards I’ve started putting together a layout just to see how much can be fitted into a space only slightly bigger than 4’x6’.

The actual size is 2000x1200mm (6’7” x 3’11”)

My plan is to include a high level Minories type terminus with a goods yard and turntable, out and back running, twin track continuous running, hidden storage siding(s) and ability to expand to one side into a docks area or fiddle yard.

I’m hoping to depict a very cramped ex GER East London smoky urban feel full of deep brick lined cuttings, viaducts and industrial sidings.

It will be nice to see this progress

Look forward to watching this, I like the area you're hoping to model, my first experience of railways was going to London in the late 70's via Liverpool st, very atmospheric.

Any update on this layout?  Looks great...
