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. Today we see a class 47 in the shadow of the Abbey whilst the track maintenance team start making preparations for winter putting the snow ploughs through their function makes a stop at the platform of Abbey Cove station.The Ferness track major track works now completed we see class 37 at a halt in the shadow of the village church 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.

As the Ferness end-to-end exhibit advances to become open we see the west coast mainline class 33 at the station with a Caledonian sleeper at the platform ready for boarding ,with class 66 Diesel loco in view as she passes the signal house.
