The basis of the layout, proposed to be based on “Aysgarth” station, takes the inspiration from three areas: cement traffic to Weardale, limestone traffic & MOD traffic to Redmire, and a preservation cum private railway concept of the Wensleydale railway.
The track plan will initially represent a terminated form of Aysgarth station in North Yorkshire, but could be designed to allow exhibition continuous running.
Club-Room Project
“AYSGARTH” An OO-gauge Terminus Layout
The original idea for the ‘layout on the wall’ project, known as “Tickenham”, was dropped, in favour of “Aysgarth”, based on a real location. But now this has been ‘shelved’!
Actual Track Plan of Aysgarth Station
Proposed Layout Plan, using Peco 00 and 009 track (for narrow gauge)
The whole idea of a layout along a shelf in our Clubhouse has been reviewed, and, for the present, it has been ‘shelved’ in favour of building two individual layouts. This page remains as a reminder of what might have been! Perhaps it may inspire you, a visitor to our site, to consider Aysgarth as your next railway project - if so, please tell us!
