T
he layout, operated and maintained solely by volunteers, is based on a fictitious location incorporating a fairly large, mainline through station with two branch-lines, a large locomotive shed with an operational turntable and an extensive goods yard which handles a variety of freight. The mainline consists of an "Up" and "Down" passenger line as well as a bi-directional goods line. These pass the locomotive shed, through the station and through the countryside to the fiddle yard, located at the read of the layout. The layout is funded solely by donations from the viewing public, which are gratefully received. We are always seeking new volunteers to help operate, so if your interested feel free to send is a message.
