This layout was built using Lone Star track, signal boxes, signals, telegraph poles, stations and fencing, all are original parts. The Lone Star sets were last made in the 1960s at the factory in Green Lanes, Palmers Green, North London.

I have three locomotives with this layout and some carriages and trucks, which are all originals. The locomotives are driven by four rubber bands from the ends of the motor shafts to the wheels, so four axle drive was obtained without the use of any gears.

This layout depicts a fictitious railway based somewhere in North Staffordshire. I was pleased to be able to show my new layout at our recent annual exhibition on the 23rd June this year.
