ABBEY COVE
ABBEY COVE is an end to end 'OO' layout featuring two separate lines. Seen here is the upper level line which runs automatically under the control of a shuttle module with modifications to allow trains to pass in the central station. The lower line is normally operated using DCC and runs to a small dock yard area. This layout is on show in our club room. This week sees a special appearance at the Abbey with the stone masons who continue their craft maintaining the historical building whilst the scheduled DMU makes an arrival at the platform halt of Abbey Cove station.Meanwhile the Ferness track undergoes major track works we see a first train pass through the section. Feel free to come along and see it - contact us via our 'CONTACT US' page for an invitation to join us.
