Scale.
'EM' Gauge, 4mm;1ft

Size.
10ft 6in long, 16in wide.
The fiddle yard is set out as a train turntable, requiring 1ft 3in clear at the front for turning.

Transport.
The sections fit together and fit into a saloon car for transit. The layout has it's own trestles and lighting. One power point is needed from which I take a four-way trailing lead for the layout and the lights.

Other Information.
The imaginary market town of Fursenhall is to the east of Cambridge, and is served by a single track branch from the GN/GE line. The period depicted is the fifties, as steam gave way to diesel.

The station building, built in the same style as Godmanchester. Across the road you will find the 'Black Swan' and then you can take a stroll and look at the shops. Near the level crossing is the local bus company's garage. When you get back to the station, don't bother to ask the porters about the next train; they're too deep in conversation.

The trains are mostly steam-hauled, using ex G.N., G.E. and L.N.E.R. locos. Diesels also appear to show how the decade progressed. Most of the steam locos are scratch built, with converted proprietary models among the diesels. The majority of the stock is kit-built, but not always according to the instructions.

Trackwork is made by soldering the rail to rivets in plywood sleepers, available from the E.M. Gauge Society. Point, signal and level crossing control is mechanical. The buildings are made from card, except for the signal box, which is a perspex box overlaid with plastic.
