Layouts On Show for 2012

Poulton (OO) - Scale model of Poulton Station with a bit of artistic licence

 

Wallsgrove (O)

An O Gauge end-to-end layout which is not based on any particular prototype. Its geographical location is in Warwickshire and is an imaginary town five miles south east of Stratford-on-Avon.

The 24ft x 2ft 3in layout is primarily a country town LMS terminus, with a small goods yard, trading in coal, cattle and general commodities. Trains leave the scene, via a tunnel, for the big, wide world which includes Birmingham as well as Stratford.

 

Pecton Poodon (OO)

 

Midland Bank (N)

 

Corfe Castle (N)

 

Nicely (OO) - Thomas the tank - Drive it yourself

 

Harrison Ford (HO)

An imaginery town in the Rockies and one built around a switchback in the railroad. The railroad brings timber and minerals from higher up the mountains to the town which is developing on the edge of the Prairies. The layout depicts the steam era with typical backwoods locomotives and rolling stock. The complex trackwork provides for interesting operation but itis not based on any real location. The original fording point has been bridged by the railway.

Corfe Drops (12mm TT)

Ron Boxall – Model Trains and Roadways

We offer a wide range of die-cast model buses, trams and railway items and we are specialists in supplying and fitting DCC control systems with Lenz & Gaugemaster products. We have supplied and installed systems for use commercially at the London Transport Museum, Covent Garden and the Blackpool Model Village and domestically in lots of private homes. As they say, “No system too large or too small”.

Maybe you are new to DCC railways or to the world of DCC controlled road vehicles? Maybe you don’t know where to start? Maybe you have a question about DCC that you never dared to ask?

If so, come and talk to us without any obligation and we will do our best to answer your questions or queries.

The stand features a working Faller roadway system with lorries and buses, automatically stopping and starting, and you might just be in time to catch the Walls Ice Cream van pass by. We also have a working DCC controlled tram with sound. Roadway systems can be designed to meet any space or budget requirement and these vehicles can really bring any model railway to life.

We operate on a mail-order only basis for products and spares but please come and have a chat - there is no obligation to buy.
