BRANDLETHORPE
LINE
N Gauge By
David Balderstone
From 2004 to present
Introduction
Brandlethorpe part
Since the old pictures a lot has been
done on my layout. New buildings and been install on the line. The
upper part of the layout has been re-designed with a petrol station and
a garden centre. A new line has been put in so that a head shunt is now
available for the station. New signs on the station have been
installed. More working people have been placed in areas where
engineering work takes place.
The
main points near the station have been electrified and also the two
points under the back part have been replaced. To make sure that the
point work properly I have installed a Discharge Unit which gives the
points a decent punch when they change.
Stoneview extension
As you can see the whole of the
extension has been re-designed, first of all the points (PECO) are all
electrified. The station on this part of the layout is mainly for DMU
trains but loco pulled trains can also visit. There is a hidden siding
/ return loop where trains can either be turned round or taken off the
track to be replaced by another train formation.
Track on the layout whole
layout
The track is all Peco track with a
small exception of one Fleishman point. There is now some concrete
style track on the layout mainly on the Stoneview part.
Scenery
There has been quire a lot of scenery
changes on the layout. The Brandlethorpe part the top part has totally
been re-designed, this new facilities being installed. Loads of small
details have been addressed and worked on.
Main running of the layout
The layout is a working layout with
businesses running and the new dock area at Stoneview. This allows
cargo to either be shipped out to Europe or the world or travel of to
other places by rail via the hidden siding which in theory links the
line to the rest of Great Britain. The layout runs a full service with
local and national trains. The tram line is in full operation where
visitors to Brandlethorpe come to ride on the line. There are Hostels
and walking facilities for the visitors to enjoy.
