This section is
dedicated to customers and friends layouts. If you would like to have your
layout featured or you have a website to link to please let us know
(complete beginners welcome)
My Own
Layout (Under Construction)
My layout is very
loosely based on the area around Glasgow Central extending to Polmadie in
the east and Crossmyloof and Cardonald to the west. Obviously with such a
vast area modelers license is necessary. The time period is mid-late
seventies. The locos collected so far include classes2x 06, 5x08, 5x20,
2x25, 2x26, 27, 5x37, 3x40 , 3x47, 50, 81, 83, 3x86 & 87, 101, 117 (for
coversion to Scotish type) 2x303 to be built and an APT early
livery. All locos in blue or green livery most with TOPS code with a
sprinkling of pre TOPS.

Del's Industrial Layout
Del's layout is his
first attempt at railway modeling, the layout is loosely centered aground
the Birmingham area. The rolling stock is mainly late steam and early
diesel with a few notable exceptions. (Slug 6!). There are some excellent
detail features my favorite being a row of metcalfe terrace backs (now
replaced as below) with many extra details fitted. Mainly freight
trains run on this twin oval based layout giving rise to excellent
industrial lineside features such as a coal mine and lineside cranes. The
track as since been relayed and the second version of the layout is now
under construction making use of Scenix buildings. To see the pics click
