We would like to thank the organisers and all our visitors who visited to discuss all things Railway modeling
With a BIG THANKYOU to everyone who voted for ABBEY COVE
ABBEY COVE is an end to end 'OO' layout featuring two separate lines. Seen here is the Harbour line which can be run on analogue or DCC. An elevated section line can be run 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 Diesel Class 25 negotiating past the maintenance team whilst the fishing boat makes a excellent viewing platform.While in the background making a guest appearance is a visiting Transport for Wales DMU at a halt at Abbey cove platform. Feel free to come along and see it - contact us via our 'CONTACT US' page for an invitation to join us.

Inverkeil layout
Take a closer Look at Main Street
Now work continues on the building appearance of the Inverkeil layout ,we are now seeing the positions of the 3-D printed buildings (courtesy Duncan)as last week but now in various hues as the tapestry of colour is being applied .
The Main street roadway surfaces have been applied whilst busy folk move about before the paint is even dry to the surrounding landscapes
We even get our glimpse of a First DMU taking a trip across the viaduct above the roofs of the village
