The Solent Model Railway Group‟85 was formed in February 1975,
to promote a friendship amongst modellers and assist in the
interchange of ideas and techniques.
The club meets Mondays and Wednesday (except bank holidays) at Denys railway
station. We have a varied selection of activities throughout the year, some of last
year‟s events are illustrated on the photographic display, Stand N°51

Members participate in other exhibitions in the area and further afield in such places as
Salisbury, Alton, Kidderminster and overseas.
We can give you advice on how to prepare your layout or demonstration stand for
public display. We have strong connections with clubs in Europe, in particular with
Association des Modélistes Havrais Amateurs (AMHA), the club in Southampton‟s
twin-town, Le Havre. We take part in the eurotrack exhibition held in one of the
association member‟s countries and club members attending other European

WELCOME
The Solent Model Railway Group welcomes you to our ninth show at Fleming Park
Leisure Centre, Eastleigh. It is our 35th annual show and the 23rd under the EUROTRACK
banner. Our first exhibition was held in the Royal Hotel, followed by 11 years in the Solent
Suite underneath the Southampton Guildhall, before moving to the Guildhall in 1988 and
then adding the Solent Suite to the Guildhall in 1995.
This year will be the first time since 1992 that we have not had
modellers from Hungary at the exhibition. András Domonkos
(Bobomodell Club) suffered a heart attack last November from
which he did not survive. András travelled the 1750km (about
1150miles) from Szeged each year since 1993 bringing his
superb models most of which were scratchbuilt. One year he
even brought a small layout on his back by train which also
involved changing at Köln, crossing the channel on a ferry and
then train from Dover. For many years Tamás Letenyei from
Baross Gábor, Veszprém (1500km / 1000km) also came along
with some other members of both clubs. András and Tamás will
be missed this year and but we hope to see Tamás next year.

events. We thank all exhibitors and traders some of whom have come far and wide to be

BIENVENUE
Le Solent Model Railway Group vous souhaite la bienvenue à la 8e édition de notre
exposition au Fleming Park Leisure Centre à Eastleigh. Ceci est notre 34e exposition
annuelle et la 22e sous la bannière EUROTRACK. Notre première exposition a eu lieu au
Royal Hotel, les 11 qui suivirent se sont tenues dans la Solent Suite, sous le « Guildhall »
de Southampton, avant de migrer dans la grande salle du Guildhall en 1988, puis nous
avons annexé les deux salles en 1995.
Cette année, pour la première fois depuis 1992, il n‟y aura aucun modéliste en
provenance de Hongrie à notre exposition. András Domonkos du Bobomodell Club de
Szeged a été victime d‟une crise cardiaque en novembre à laquelle il n‟a pas survécu.
András avait pour habitude tous les ans depuis 1993 de parcourir le trajet de 1750km
depuis Szeged pour présenter ses modèles, la plus grande partie étant de construction
personnelle. Une année, il transporta même sur son dos un petit réseau, même si le trajet en
train lui a imposé un changement à Cologne, de traverser la Manche sur un ferry et de finir
le trajet en train depuis Douvres. Il a été accompagné pendant de nombreuses années par
Tamás Letenyei de Baross Gábor, Veszprém, qui parcourait près de 1500km avec des
membres des deux clubs pour venir à notre exposition. András et Tamás vont nous
manquer cette année, mais nous espérons revoir Tamás l‟année prochaine.
Nous vous remercions de votre visite ce week-end et espérons sincèrement que vous
passerez un bon moment avec nous car, sans votre aide et votre soutient, nous serions
incapables de continuer à organiser ces expositions. Nous remercions tous les exposants et
les commerçants, certains étant venus de très loin pour être avec nous.

UKTrainSim promotes an interest in railways through the medium of Virtual Railway
simulations. Much the same skills are required to build a virtual railway as are needed to
build a real or model railway. We demonstrate typical UK based routes, locos and rolling
stock, but do occasionally demonstrate others from further afield; Europe and USA. Please
feel free to discuss anything railway related with our demonstrators as a number of our
crew are also railway modellers.

the first figures in brackets are the scale ratio (1:76.2 is the ratio equivalent of
4mm to 1ft).
the second figure is the actual track gauge.
This clearly shows the difference between 00 (76.2 / 16.5), with its "narrow" track and
P4 (76.2 / 18.83), which is the true scale value. Note that the true scale for 16.5 mm track
gauge is H0 (87.1 / 16.5).

There‟s still a lot of confusion about DCC and what it can and can‟t do, what the
benefits and pitfalls are and so forth. With DCC becoming more and more mainstream this
confusion is only going to spread further and our aim is to try and clear some of the mist,
as well as provide a place for people to come and ask questions and find out if DCC is
going to be right for them. As part of our demonstration we‟d like to talk to people about
all the different systems that are available, what their choices are, compatibility between
systems, computer control and so forth. There‟s a lot to choose from and that selection is
rapidly growing

LITTLE BINFIELD LIGHT RAILWAY (LBLR)
“A HANDBAG LINE!”
0 (43.5 / 32)
Tony Dean, Maidenhead & Marlow MRC
Inspired by the playwright Oscar Wilde, a compressed version of the real track plan at
Bembridge (IoW), this little Colonel Stephens‟ style light railway terminus is set in the mid
-Berkshire village of Binfield, sandwiched between the towns of Bracknell and
Wokingham.
The line to „Little Binfield‟, the imaginary country estate of the fictitious family of
Lady Bracknell and her husband who built the railway, characters created by Oscar Wilde
in his 1895 play “The Importance of Being Ernest”, supposedly branches out from the
northern end of the real SECR/LSWR junction station at Wokingham to run just a couple
of miles to „Little Binfield‟, on the NW edge of the real Binfield village.
As is common with light railways, it has an eclectic and somewhat haphazard
collection of locos and stock. The characters depicted on the layout are those from the play,
its creator, and real historic personalities of Binfield village in the late Victorian and
Edwardian era, discovered from documents in Binfield local library. The layout is
primarily designed to be run in the 1897-1914 period, but can also be adapted to depict
more modern periods when desired.

Birmingham Moor Street was built as an entry to the 2007 DEMU Minories Challenge
to build a terminus station with three platform faces in 7' x 1'. The layout represents the
terminus side of Moor Street station in central Birmingham – opened in 1909, Moor Street
terminus handled suburban services to the south of the city, Leamington-Spa and Stratfordupon-Avon until replacement by the current through-station when Snow Hill re-opened in
1987. The station building and terminus platforms were restored in 2006 but, as yet,
remain disconnected from the rail network – we understand that work will commence in
2010 to bring them back in to use.
We can operate the layout in the transition period between steam and diesel traction or
in the British Rail corporate era of the late '70s and early '80s. In the former era, most
suburban services are in the hands of DMUs but some steam hauled trains are still to be
seen. Freight and parcels trains reverse here to use the connection to the neighbouring
goods depot. Later, suburban services are entirely in the capable hands of DMUs but we
have imagined that the goods depot remained open so freight and parcels trains can also be
seen.
We extended the layout both length and width-ways for the Scalefour Society/DEMU
Challenge to lengthen the platforms and include one of the three wagon hoists serving the
lower level of the goods depot. The layout has been simplified and shortened to fit the
space available but the key features of Moor Street's station building and three platforms
are modelled, including one of the traversers! Control is by Lenz DCC or by conventional
DC. Working signals operated by model aircraft servos have been scratchbuilt by
members of the WMAG, as were the structures and scenic features.
We hope you enjoy our slice of Birmingham nostalgia.

items of all gauges as well as a good selection of railway accessories for all modelling
needs. Also carried is a small amount of new Bachmann. Hornby and Vitrains.

Bampton Yard is a busy freight depot just west of London in a heavily urban area.
Trains arrive over the plate bridge to reception rod, loco is then off to the shed or runs back
light. The train is then broken up by the yard shunter – either to the goods shed at the rear
or the front siding to be made into other trains for the final destination.
Due to Bampton‟s location loco‟s and stock from Southern, Western and LMS are
frequent visitors. In fact every day is different here

Ingleton Sidings is an Inglenook shunting puzzle designed to sit on a standard home
window sill or even an ironing board! The layout was designed to illustrate in minimum
space what can be achieved with a mixture of customised “off the shelf” products and basic
stratchbuilding techniques.
The location is fictional and set in BR sidings around the late fifties early sixties.
Despite it‟s size, the layout features Peco Code 100 track and turnouts with Seep point
motors, 16v lighting and Kadee automatic coupling.

The layout is based in Cornwall as a branch line which survived Beeching‟s axe as far
as Morwellham due to the china clay works.
The china clay works sees CDA wagons loaded by diggers and VGA vans for
palletised loads, whilst the station platform has a regular passenger services for the village
some ¾ of a mile away.
A goods siding which was once used by Cornish farmers now sees Railfreight wagons
bound for Exeter Riverside Freight Yard and is also used for storage of engineering stock.

SANKLEY is a fictitious place a few miles to the north of Gillingham and east of
Wincanton. It is a Southern station with connections to the Somerset & Dorset and the
Great Western. The period is 1948-50 allowing the running of locomotives and carriages
in four liveries: late Southern, the Somerset & Dorset had become London Midland &
Scottish by that time, and Great Western, all waiting to be repainted, and stock already in
the new British Railways colours. Goods stock could have come from anywhere.
In our imagination this “might have been” town was in a prosperous agricultural area.
Freight movements reflect this but all trains are relatively short, being limited by the length
of the station (and the fiddle yard behind the backscene). Passenger trains have to be no
more than two carriages with push-pull and railmotors arriving quite frequently.
Why the name "SANKLEY"? Our second layout began with the second letter of the
alphabet, the next layout was Thirdlev, then came Ivley (note the Roman 4), and for this
one we have anglicised the spelling of the French for five.
SANKLEY was entered in the Scalefour Society‟s 18∙83 Challenge held at the
Scaleforum Exhibition in September 2005. Judging was by visitors to the exhibition and
resulted in the layout receiving a Commended award.
As the name suggests this is the place to come to find those elusive spare bits that you
have been looking for to get your layout back into tip-top condition. Hornby, Lima or
Triang it‟s all here. If you don‟t see the part you need just ask Richard and he will do his
best to find it for you.

Jean-Pierre and Jérôme present 3 new modules, currently still under construction. This
is a freelance layout, reproducing the III/IV epochs (as classified by MOROP,
corresponding to the 1945-1990 period) and is located in the countryside of Normandy in
France. The model features a passing station, as some still exist today, a typical and
animated village with its superb stone house, an exact reproduction of Jean-Pierre‟s own
house located 2km off Coutances in the department of the Manche. Take a special look at
the small public garden with all its details and the Café Henriette, alongside with some
typical daily scenes.
The home to all moles, ladybirds and mice but most of all it is home to the Bramble
Bottom Rail System, BBR for short. With a small school house beneath the tree stump and
a dozen or so houses, life goes on without incident. Well! Except when Edwin Earwig sat
on Malcolm Mouses‟s blackberry pie. Edwin still can‟t get the stain out of his trousers.
Every day the BBRe express train delivers mail for the snail Xpress delivery Service
and then takes passengers to Lower Bramble Bottom to do their shopping or to work in the
honey factory run by Brian Bumble Bee! The goods trains also regularly delivers
strawberries, blackberries and other fruits plus building materials for use by the locals.
This unique layout is the brainchild of Brian Rawlings known for his Grumstick and
Dipplewick Railway. The layout is very popular on the exhibition circuit and we hope it is
enjoyed as much as Brian enjoyed building it.
Peco track has been used with SEEP electromagnetic uncoupling system and bell

Ron-Lines stock a range of electrical components for your modelling needs, as well as
buy and sell second hand model railways and would be interested in purchasing any items
you wish to sell or part exchange, be it single items or collections.
The Concept. The Surf line is the name given to the stretch of railroad that runs from
San Diego up through Los Angeles to Santa Barbara, One hundred miles to the north of
Los Angeles. It gets its name as a large part of the route hugs the coastline. Amtrak
passenger trains run over this stretch of line with two trains a day continuing north of Santa
Barbara, one of these being the Coast Starlight which travels between Los Angeles and
Seattle in the north of the country.
The stretch of line north of Los Angeles is owned by Southern Pacific (now part of
Union Pacific) while south of LA to San Diego is owned by Burlington Northern Santa Fe.
The Layout. The first layout, „California Coast, The Surf Line‟ was modelled on the
area around Santa Barbara. However this layout is a near scale model of the area around
Santa Barbara Amtrak station which is between the beach and the main downtown
shopping and restaurant area.
Many photographs and measurements have been taken in the vicinity of the station to
recreate as many of the details as possible but some compression of the area modelled has
had to be made. Hopefully, this doesn‟t spoil the overall scene.
A large number of trees including different types of palm trees have been used as per
the real location. There are many other types of trees such ones with a violet flower that
can also be seen on the layout.
Atlas code 55 track is used on the scenic sections whilst Peco finescale track has been
used in the fiddleyard using SEEP solenoids for the turnouts. All buildings have been
scratch built from plastic sheet and are as close to scale as can be from scaling form
photographs and from pacing out the wall s. Also great use of Google maps and Google
Streets has been made to check proportions and locations of buildings relative to each other
Rolling stock and locomotives have been detailed and are from a number of
manufacturers such as Kato, Atlas, Roundhouse and Microtrains.

probably on the Eastern seaboard. However, it can be „Wherever you want it to be!‟
The scene depicts the railroad still hard at work in the wee small hours! A darkened
city back-scene and blue LED floodlighting give a moonlight glow. Ambient sound and
some theatrical lighting effects help to make the scene a little different from the usual.
(Look out for „Fat Joe‟s Disco‟, and 'Pompey Lil' staggering home after a hard night's
work, and the pipe laying gang struggling to finish before the morning rush begins).
Asciano Del Lamone is a fictional station on a secondary line in the foothills of the
Appenine mountains, the time span for the layout is from the 1970s to the present and as
such the line is in decay with threats of closure hanging over it ,when the layout is
operating in the present time an enterprising group has taken over the loco shed and its
possible to see some preserved locos operating.
As exhibited the layout is only partially complete as there are plans to extend it, with
more scenic boards and make it a continuous run layout.
The layout is DCC and a number of locos are sound equipped,controlled from a
Bachmann Dynamis the signals are produced by 2 Italian firms nameley Il Treno and
Essemmee, the buildings are mostly produced by Ninive with some scratchbuilt by myself.
Operation is from the front of the layout, using an NCE Powercab DCC
control, the switches (points) being operated by the old „wire –in – tube‟ method.
Simple – but safe.

STANDEN WATCHETT
Z (220 / 6.5)
Graham Jones, Northampton
Many US mainline railroads are single track with passing places such as this. We built
the baseboards at the show last year and we hope to have at least the track down before you
see it. We know it is high off the ground, but the smaller the scale the more important it
becomes to view it from the proper angle i.e. the same angle you see real trains from.
The layout is called a dogbone because it is long and thin with a lump at each end
where the track goes round in a circle. It is the most space efficient way of having a round
and round layout complete with a fiddle yard.
Standen Watchett is a freelance exhibition layout featuring the LNER just prior to
Nationalisation progressing through to BR Eastern Region in the mid 1970‟s when diesel
was king. The area modelled is somewhere on the East Coast Mainline. Measuring 12ft
by 2ft, the layout is constructed using 3 X 4ft sections bolted together in a stepped fashion
to give a landscaping effect. The main track bed however is on the same level throughout.
The track plan shows the left-hand board carrying the station, town and sidings. The
centre board carrying gentle countryside with the single-track branch line dipping below
the mainline. The right hand board completes the layout with a viaduct over a canal,
before the track enters the tunnel.
Hidden behind the back scene are adequate sidings to hold 12 different trains.
The station is constructed below the town with only the platforms ends showing below
the station canopy. This creates the impression of a large station area but is in fact only the
return loops to the fiddle yard

Andrew Dancy, Uckfield Model Railway
Alan Marlow, London
Finally after many years of collecting stock, looking at photos and even travelling on
the real thing I‟ve at last got round to building my first Italian layout, with I must add, the
combined knowledge, help and expertise of many friends in the Italian Railways Society.
So why Liviano ? Well my niece is called Olivia and we always call her Livvy so I
thought Liviano sounded like a suitable name for an Italian town.
The layout is eight feet in length with a four foot long fiddle yard at each end.
Everything folds together in order for it to fit a medium sized saloon car although I must
admit an estate would allow me another scenic board or two.
I‟ve used Rimini Models building kits wherever possible along with some scratchbuilt
low relief ones along the backscene. The main part of the station building is a Minitalia Kit
but I have made some extension pieces to make it more impressive. The grey fencing
opposite the café is a genuine Italian artisan white metal product.
Track is Peco code 75 but I‟ve cut through every sleeper tie and re-spaced the sleepers
to give a less uniform look to the trackbed. Woodland Scenics medium grey ballast (ref:
B81 ) has been used on the track which itself sits on a 1mm card underlay. Points are
operated by SEEP point motors modified to give a more reliable switch to the frog polarity.
All over the layout I have tried to use subtle colours to portray a sun drenched little
town somewhere near the Adriatic coast. A lot of the grass is Woodland Scenics yellow
turf (ref: T43 )and I‟ve used Tamiya acrylic paints for the buildings, usually starting with
white and just adding enough orange or red to get a sort of pale cream or terracotta finish.
The rolling stock comes from the usual suspects, Roco D345, Lima Aln 668 railcar,
Rivarossi D245 shunter plus a couple of Aln 772 railcars from GT Modelli. The whole
thing runs quite well because the points are all of the live frog variety and I‟ve used heavy
gauge wire for all the track feeds. The layout is analogue rather than digital and all
movements are controlled from a small mimic diagram at one end.

Andrew has been going round in circles for twenty years thinking about, (or pondering
on), this layout and the thought of this exhibition galvanised him into action. Joking, apart,
this layout was inspired 20 years ago when Andrew visited an exhibition and saw a layout
built completely on a curve and there the idea was born.
Everything you see on this layout can be purchased from any good model shop and it
could even have been built starting with a train set. The layout is based on one in Paul
Lunn‟s book “Micro Layouts”.

Peter Molyneaux, Ringwood
This layout was originally part of a group from Southampton Model Railway Society
comprising four modules of 4ft x 2ft baseboards linking together to form a large working
layout. It was named WORM as an acronym of the surnames of the builders. This layout
was exhibited in Bournemouth in 1971 after which it disappeared into storage.
Having discovered my board in the loft I felt it would be an interesting exercise to
rebuild / refurbish this part of the layout. In order to make a complete scheme two new
boards were made to flank the original module enabling the outer circuit of the plan to be
complete.
At the time 009 narrow gauge was very popular but as little in the way of proprietary
buildings were available most of the structures were scratch built. The original buildings
required some restoration and the church which had been a kit but was badly damaged, was
replaced. In order to match the home made furnish the structures on the new boards were
also hand built.
Having been in contact with one of the original team I was able to obtain a selection or
original stock which forms the backbone of the services running today.
As a restoration project some of the detail is a little crude by current standards but this
it is hoped conveys a vintage charm.

This very old English Cider Mill with its narrow gauge railway, which today hauls
gravel from a nearby pit, is actually based on a design from America. In other words the
design was stolen from Carl Arendt‟s wonderful website, but we‟ll draw a veil over that.
The Mill opened in 1729 and had a great reputation for very, very potent cider. The famous
Pink Perry which was also made here and drunk by the Royle Family at 27 Sidebottom
Road, Ramsbottom.
High quality industrial gravel, (also used as budgie grit and cat litter), arrives by
narrow gauge railway and is automatically tipped into standard gauge wagons which
disappear into a tunnel beneath the Mill.

COLUMBIA & WESTERN RAILWAY – CASCADE YARD
0n30 (48 / 19)
Bob Harper & Bob Deakin
“CASCADE YARD” is the small, portable part of my 220ft home layout depicting 3ft
narrow gauge operation in the Rockies in southern British Columbia. Historically, the
Columbia & Western Railway ran from the silver mining area around Rossland to the
smelter at Trail on the Columbia River. My fiction is that the narrow gauge prospered as a
joint CP/GN line, and the branch extended to tap the timber stands and mines in the
mountains around Cascade Lake; so that timber traffic, ore from the Soggy Bottom Mining
Co, general freight and passenger traffic from the growing tourist trade mean that I have an
excuse to run anything I like!
Built to American ¼ inch to the foot scale, i.e. 1/48th, the track is all handbuilt to ¾
inch gauge. Most of the locos are brass imports from the Far-East, whereas a fair
proportion of the rolling-stock is from the excellent Bachmann ON30 range, re-gauged
from 16.5mm. As time allows, this will all be super-detailed and re-painted. Scenically the
layout is based on the dramatic cliff faces on the Kettle Valley route a bit further west. The
major feature of the layout is the digital command control (DCC) operation, which allows
full light and sound effects to be incorporated into the locos. At previous exhibitions, I
have been persuaded to hand over control to eager viewers, so it is possible that you may
be able to have a go at blowing the whistles yourself.

CHEDWAY
00 (76.2 / 16.5)
Andy Jones, Burnham & District MRC, Bridgewater, Somerset
Chedway is a fictitious country town station somewhere in SW England. It is on a
mainline through route as well as a terminus for local branch lines from Newburn and
Oddsan End. It is the local market town and the collecting point for produce and traffic to
and from local rural areas. Being by the sea, there is considerable holiday passenger traffic
during the summer months. The small fishing harbour and the nearby cargo-handling
wharf give rise to round the year freight traffic. The line is used by GWR and some LSW
passenger trains, with the occasional LMS excursion!
The line is twin track with a passing loop in the station. Local branch-line trains cross
the „up‟ line to arrive in the terminus, making the return journey on the „up‟ line. Freight
trains also cross the „up‟ line to reach the goods-yards. Re-fuelled and watered locos can
pull out of the engine-shed to couple up to coaches in the terminus for the return journey,
the incoming loco later passing to the engine shed for re-fuelling and water. Colour light
signals indicate point setting or, controlled from control panel, stop the train if on red.
Track is Peco Code 100 Streamline and points Peco electrofrog changed by Peco
motor. Low relief buildings, station, bridges and boats are scratch built, the engine shed
and goods shed are from Ratio kits. Colour light signals are from Econ kits or Econ lights
on Airfix gantry. The castle ruin is Hornby.

Operation: The station is based on Hyltebruk on the former Halmstad Nässjö Railway.
The layout will be using a working timetable based on prototype practice, including
passenger, freight and mixed trains.
Description: The small (fictional) town of Småtorp is a busy little industrial town
cantered on Forrest products. It the terminus of a branch from the Halmstad Nässjö
Railway main line at Oskarstrom. The line was built to serve Småtorps Bruk AB who
operate a paper mill behind the station. As a subsidiary activity they also have a sawmill
and a small furniture factory. There is also a light engineering company in the town that
send products out by rail. The train services provided on the layout are based on 1930‟s
operating practice.
Passenger services are manly provided by railbusses and include a daily working to and
from Halmstad by the HNJ‟s pride and joy one of the new NOHAB high-speed railbusses.
Freight services include a mixed freight and serve the two other stations on the branch as
well as Småtorp.
The layout will appeared in Continental Modeller during the autumn of 2008
The track plan for Småtorp is based on Hyltebruk station.

WILDSCHÖNAU
HOe (87.1 / 9)
David Coates
Wildschönau is a beautiful valley nestling between the Kitzbuheler Alps and the
Wilder Kaiser in Austria. "Wildschönau" means "Wild and Beautiful" valley.
This Wildschönau is an HOe layout representing Austrian narrow gauge railways and
tries to give an impression of the scenery of the area.
The Austrian narrow gauge railway of the Pinzgauer Lokalbahn ends at Krimml, an
extension was proposed but never built. This layout assumes that the railway was extended
past Krimml 38 Km to join the Zillertalbahn at Zell Am Ziller. This extended railway
provides a scenic route for tourists visiting the Hohe Tauern National Park and the
Krimmler Falle waterfalls.In the summer there are lots of visitors taking advantage of the
valley and hill walks, and also more challenging hikes to mountain peaks.
The through trains are hauled by 2095 diesel locomotives and the local passenger
service handled by 5090 type diesel railcars. Freight is handled by a mixture of older
locomotives including the type 2091 diesel locomotive.
The regular steam specials are run by the local preservation society. With the closure or
privatisation of many of Austria‟s narrow gauge railways there are always visiting trains
from other railways.
This layout was featured as “Railway of the Month” in Continental Modeller
November 2006 and also featured on the Railway Modeller\Continental Modeller CD in
January 2008.

Set somewhere on the Swiss Furka Oberalp Bahn, Between Andermat and Disentis, the
layout features working rack and pinion operation allowing the trains to climb
approximately 3 feet as they wind their way around the layout, With UP and Down trains
passing each other at the small station which is also served by Funicular railway.
Following on from our large club layout “Oberfriedhof” the baseboards have been built
at 45degrees. It also is a test bed for an operating system which has at its heart a
programmable logic chip. Developed by members of the Furness Model Railway Club, it
allows a sequence of trains to be run automatically.
If you have any questions about this or any other aspect of the layout don‟t hesitate to
ask any of the operators.

KÖLN USW
H0 (87.1 / 16.5)
Andrew Knights, Steyning, West Sussex
Along with my other exhibition layouts, Köln USW, is constructed in a folding box,
two metres by a foot. In this space I have tried to recreate the sort of semi-bucolic scene
found in the Köln-Bonn hinterland. An area of rivers, ponds and large chemical works
factories, and, yes, countryside!
The scene before you shows a small station on a recently singled secondary line in this
area. In theory it runs to connect with the site of another layout Köln Vorstellbar. Various
multiple units may be seen running over the embanked line. Passengers are few at the
small station. It sees trippers and those interested in ein Kleiner Bummell. It is only busy
when the schools finish for the afternoon or at factory shift change times.
The main activity takes place in the exchange sidings below. This is where wagons are
sorted and swapped between the factory lines and those of the local Hafen und Guterwerk
Köln (HGK) line. The cars are switched by either the HGK trip engine or the little KöF
shunter, sold into industrial life.
The line is a form of “Inglenook” though different due to its double ended nature. The
wagons are sorted according to a simple picture card system. First in a session utilising the
HGK locomotive and next by the Bayer Köf. This is repeated etc (Und So Weite)
The couplings used within the freight yard are the European version of Kadee‟s.
If you have any questions about ”Layouts You Can Live With“, German modelling or
this layout in particular, do ask the operator.

Fictionally set in the Swiss alps, Keine Name is at the end of a metre gauge branch line.
Originally designed as a through station, the rest of the line was never completed so the
tunnel at one end of the station is only a headshunt. The line is quite busy however with
frequent passenger trains and freight trains from a number of Swiss railway companies,
serving the cement silo and the loading dock. There is also an occasional "G" train (mixed
passenger/ freight) hauled by an ancient Krocodile locomotive.
