Ravenser Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 I have been laying track on the new club project which is called The Scottish Layout, on the basis that is is set in Scotland and we can't agree on what to call it. I suspect that it will make its exhibition debut next year (probably at Trainwest 2018) still known as The Scottish Layout. Geoff Endacott (P.S. It is not going to be called Loch Ayethenoo.) What's the Gaelic translation for "The Scottish Layout" ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcD Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Our Layout of many locations on the whole goes by the name of "Scrachy Bottom" a real place in Dorset cost. I was given a book of rude place names full of great names with to quote Peter Kay "a bit of blue for the dads." Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinty3f Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Hot potatoes, orchestra stalls, blood will make amends. Or arguably, Puck will make amends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Fitness Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I've got a working model bus layout based on a Lancashire town in the 1960s called "Worktown" the name of which was taken from a book written in the 1930s. It was a "mass observation" done by students researching a large Lancashire town's working life in the mills and factories and pubs and named in a way they hoped would be ambiguous enough to preserve the anonymity of it. I suppose it could have been any of the towns north of Manchester but the pictures they took and published in the book were clearly of Bolton, my home town at the time I read the book in the 1980s.

TEAMYAKIMA Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 My last layout was based on the Black Canyon in Colorado in the 1940s - somewhere which is now underwater due to a new dam being built. My layout featured full sound including 'echo' on the whistles Hence the name ' Echoes of the Black Canyon' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clearwater Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 The station will be called "Macbeth" presumably? Though operation may be hindered if the operators don't use the station name lest it's bad luck! Cameo of cauldron and three witches on the platform would probably be one for the "rarely modelled category!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Londontram Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 If I ever get round to building my Scottish layout I'm a bit tempted to call it something like "!Itskintme" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
