About the Layout

This layout is the culmination of countless hours of planning, building, and fine-tuning. It’s designed to capture the charm and intricacies of a classic British railway setting, with detailed scenery, bustling stations, industrial zones, and countryside vistas. The layout’s focus is to balance realism and functionality, ensuring smooth operations for a variety of rolling stock and locomotives.

Locos in Action

During this tour, I’ve also fired up a variety of locomotives for you to enjoy. Here’s a quick rundown of the stars featured in the video:
1. Class 24 - A versatile and reliable locomotive, shown hauling a mixed freight consist with ease.
2. Class 55 “Deltics” - These iconic diesels bring power and elegance to the mainline, running both passenger and express services.
3. Class 101 DMU - A classic workhorse for regional passenger services, navigating the branch lines beautifully.

Each loco is shown in its element, performing prototypical operations to showcase the layout’s flexibility and variety. I’ve tried to capture the essence of the British railway scene with authentic detailing, weathering, and sound.
