drs37038 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 CHESTNUT ROAD OO GAUGE DCC SOUND PRESENT DAY The layout size is 16ft x 9 ft with a viewing area of 16ft x 3ft. Chestnut Road is a fictitious location set in the present day based around the Midlands. The location is based on a medium sized container depot with a depot and fuelling point set in an industrial location with passing freight and passenger services to keep interest. The locomotives are from the major manufacturers (Bachmann, Hornby), Classes 08 – 67 while the odd DMU can also be seen. The rolling stock is also from the major manufacturers; the freight that can be seen on the layout varies from containers, china clay, engineers and Network Rail test trains, plus many more. All the scenery and buildings are all off the shelf items from Bachmann, Hornby, and Woodland Scenics. The fiddle yard can hold approximately fifteen trains so there is plenty of variety to keep your interest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
