Hyde Lane, 1967/1968
Hyde Lane takes its inspiration from the Healey Mills shed and is developed from inspiration taken from various yards/depots around the country. The main building on the layout is that of the locomotive shed, as mentioned before it is based on the diesel shed at Healey Mills, but shortened to house one loco length instead of two. The sanding hoppers are based on those at the old Finsbury Park depot although I understand them to be of a standard design on the Eastern Region. The fuelling point is based on that at Tinsley with other influences also incorporated. A Variety of traction can be seen on the layout which adds for a variety of scenes to be created.

Apethorne Junction, 1970's
Apethorne Junction represents a fictional double junction station in North West England. The layout takes its inspiration from books such as those from Foxline, which cover the East Lancs/Greater Manchester region at the beginning of the diesel Era The period in which the layout is set is from the late 1960's of British Railways, where green diesels have taken over from Steam, into the post-TOPS era of late 1970's British Rail Blue. Featuring a wide variety of classes and DMU's. The layout is DCC and features sound, colour light signalling, point-work and uses computer control to control the route setting on the layout.

Wick-end, 1980's
Wick End is based on a fictitious branch of the Highland Railway from Wick via Nybster to John o’Groats. The truth has been bent slightly and the main ferry service for the Orkney Isles operates from here allowing for a steady stream of subsidized rail services and freight traffic, although we portray this as ‘being on its last legs’ in the era we model. Set in the late 1980s we use mainly ready to run stock that has been alterd, repainted and sound chipped. This layout has featured in the 'Hornby Magazine'

Russel Street, 1990's
Russel Street started out as a first venture into the 7mm scene, with very little knowledge of the scale started in around 2016. The layout is based in the Scottish region, which allows for a vast amount of rolling-stock to appear on it. The layout features a small station, based somewhat on Fort William, and also a massive feature of the layout is a warehouse which has been completely scratch built but allows the layout to have a heavy freight element within. As loading/unloading of trains can commence from the two road shed. All the Stock is heavily modified Ready to Run stock, which has also been fitted with sound chips and repainted. This will be the layouts first official Exhibition, although it has made a couple of public appearances before that at preserved Railways.

Eaton Lane, 2000's
Eaton Lane is a modern image, light repairs and refuling depot set in the mid to late 2000's. Used and owned by Network Rail and sees regular activity from locos being used on test trains. The local TOC's also occasionally use the facilities if they are caught short and locos or stock need repairs and can't quite make it to their home depot.
Photos for this layout will be added in due course.
More Layouts will be added in due course
