GAUGE: ‘N’ Gauge/9mm:1ft
STOCK: Heavily modified ready-to-run and kit built.
DESCRIPTION:

A main line passing a fictitious MPD located in the Banbury, Oxfordshire area in the 1950s-60s, the location being witness to a wide variety of rolling stock from the BR Midland Region, BR Western Region as well as Inter-Regional trains from the Southern and Eastern regions. In other words, something for everyone.

The period of this layout is depicted as being in the early post-nationalisation era when rolling stock of the “Big Four” (LMS, GWR, SR and LNER) could be seen alongside the new BR colour schemes.

The layout features a twin track mainline with passing loops on both the up and down lines. An 18 road fiddle yard, capable of holding over 40 different trains ensures that there is plenty of variety for the viewer. Additionally, there is plenty of movement to be seen in the engine shed and diesel depot areas.

VIEWING: From the front only.
EXPENSES: Hire of van plus petrol and parking.
INSURANCE VALUE: £5000 (£12,500 additional for all rolling stock)
