THE LAYOUT IS SET IN THE 1950’s - 1960’s, SOMEWHERE AROUND THE WYE VALLEY (FOREST OF DEAN) AREA.
The Layout is wired for both conventional, and DCC operation. The track used is Peco “Setrack”.
All points are motorized, using push-to-make switches.
The layout is built on a standard 2”x1” batton frame, with a 6mm. Plywood top.
The total size is 50” X 42”.
The landscape is made using expanding foam, with plaster to finish.
Provision for the Control Panel has been made by cutting into the hillside.
