The rational for the layout is a town in the Lincoln area.There is a main station, but the Great Northern decided to build a single track branch to the town so it at least had a presence. This has now become a run down part of the town. There is a certain amount of industry, including a maltings which may well have been converted to small industrial units. Occasional excursion trains run in addition to the local services.

The date is the early sixties. Diesels have taken over, but there may be the occasional steam engine on it's last duties. Even so, the railway's operation has hardly changed since steam days, and the freight trains are still shunted.

The layout is built to one of the less common scales. It is the finescale version of the old Triang TT scale. You can't go to the local shop and buy ready to run models, but there is a lot available if you know where to look. It is a useful scale as it is small enough to have a layout in a reasonable space while being large enough to model. Another advantage is the incentive to make more for yourself as it is not so likely that a commercial version will appear just after you have finished your latest masterpiece.

The layout measures 10 foot six inches long and 12 inches wide and is available for exhibitions. The sections fit together to form a box which fits into a car. One power point is needed, from which I take a four way extension. Please e-mail me directly, to enquire on availability and cost.
