DALRY ROAD

O Gauge by Steve Thompson & Family
 

In the late sixties, wagon load freight and short trip workings were still very much in existence North of the border.  Dieselisation was virtually complete with numerous classes of locomotives. 

The layout depicts a busy freight yard that is located just off the approaches to Edinburgh Princes Street station and is one of the many smaller yards that feeds the mammoth Millerhill complex and the Waverley route. 

The locomotives are mainly the smaller Bo-Bo class such as classes 17, 24, 25 and 26.  Rolling stock is entirely non-passenger and represents the varied freight stock that operated in this era. 

Plain track work is C&L with points built using their components.  Point operation is by Fulgurex or Lemanco slow action motors with all wiring taken back to the main control panel.  Controllers are handheld Gaugemaster.  Buildings are all scratch built from plastic sheet or card.
