Hi a great choice for a layout,the model railway layout i remember was in oo scale an old man and lady used to run it,then they moved down by the old coop for a few years until the old man passed away.I worked in the ferry station building for a while and saw 33's,47's,37's,73's and a few dmu loco's ive still got the platform sign oop's :Dthere was always a few tank wagons in the sidings.The Hornby artical had some good ideas for layouts and would be worth getting hold of a copy.
cheers
