This is a 2mm Era V mainline German layout, featuring DCC control and extensive catenary. This layout was featured in European Railways and ER modelling throughout the initial construction phases. It has appeared at Warley twice an in recent years it was on display in Victors European Railway shop in Loughton. This layout will be available for exhibitions from Spring 2009, once the extension to my other exhibition layout, Widnes Road, is fully complete and I have completed the scenery on Singen.

Although a fictional depot, the design is based on a small fueling point and shed built to serve an off-scene marshaling yard for the Runcorn and Widnes industrial complexes including the ICI chemical works; and was inspired by visits to Warrington Bank Quay in the late 80's and 90's. As the layout grows, eventually the western end of the yard itself will be modelled, including a wagon repair shop. The layout is 14'6" long by 20'' wide, with a 10'6" scenic section; requires two operators, and fits in a SWB Transit Van. Invites to shows throughout the UK are welcome, just use the 'get in touch' button. Notes: This layout was originally conceived as an exercise in what could be achieved in a very tight space, and a short time. As initially built the scenic section was only 4'-6", and with a small three road traverser was a total of under 7' by 1' 6". After a number of successful outings in 2006 and 2007, for the 2008 exhibition season Widnes Road it was extended to a 9' scenic section, with 3' fiddle yard. For Autumn 2009 the fiddle yard grew to 4' and the scenic section to 10'. It was originally built in less than 6 months from conception to exhibition, although as with all layouts, these things are never completely finished.
