Welcome to this  N Gauge Modern Image Railway.

 

It has been made using a framework underneath and a board laid over the top. The tunnel has been made using Peco mouths and polystyrene / chicken wire with bandage strips over the top and filler. There is also a cut out behind the tunnel to clean the track from.

The track is all Peco, has been tacked down and has been ballasted using granules and PVA glue mixed with water. The points are hand operated. It is basically two separate loops, each individually controlled, the inner loop having sidings by the factory and a siding at the station.  The power cables are soldered to the track near the level crossing permanently, they are completely invisible underneath the ballast. To connect the controllers to power the track, simply use the bullet connectors at the front.

All buildings are either Kestrel Designs or Hornby Lyddle End. The Hornby buildings I still have the original boxes for and are all in perfect condition. They include petrol station, farm house, a piggery and hay shed. The Kestrel designs buildings are large factory, church, modern industrial unit and the station.

Other items such as the station forecourt, the footbridge and the level crossing have been either completely scratch built (level crossing) or are modified kits (footbridge to make it span 3 tracks instead of 2).

All of the buildings are in excellent condition, no damage whatsoever, have been painted and slightly modified by myself to try and make them as realistic as possible.

The layout measures 73 inches long by 31 inches wide
