Come and see us at the following events:-
"14th Street Yard" 10th-11th September 2011 Tanfield Railway Gala Weekend
"Industry Yard" 25th - 26th August 2012 Railex NE
Following a couple of weeks of intensive operations scope for improvements have been noted and several tweaks and minor mods are being built into "Industry Yard". Operators are now being supplied with ear defenders after operation with twenty odd sound equipped locomotives.
"Alwinton" Wiring is underway. The second wire is being installed. (DCC, there are only two wires), with some baseboard and trackwork alterations. Servo point machines and Track circuit modules are under construction/installation.
"Los Karr Quays" has been converted to DCC operation and proved very successful at the recent Pickering Exhibition and the York Large Scale Show. Locomotive Control was noticeably improved.
Work on the "G" scale replacement for Spelkins is proving more difficult than anticipated. Providing interesting operation in a limited area and making it portable is giving the design team some headaches. Compact and "G" scale don't normally appear in the same sentence.
Allen's "OO" layout has had the Mainline converted to DCC operation. The branch line can still handle DC or DCC trains.
Planning is underway for a new British outline OO layout. Era and location have not yet been decided.
"Daws Creek" an HO scale switching layout is now well into the scenery phase.
We are always on the lookout for new members, if you are interested in model railways why not pop along and see us on any club night. See the "Find Us" page for directions.
