LITTLEWOOD part1
NGauge
Littlewood
is a Modern Image N gauge Exhibition Layout, built by
Christine & Richard Deas and Gary Atkinson. The track plan comprises a
double track mainline which passes through three levels;
on the middle level it is joined by two slow lines,
making a quadruple section. The lower level mainline is
equipped with overhead catenary for electric services. A
disused branch line from the upper level has been taken
over by a preservation society, who are in the process of
restoring it for steam and diesel operation.
Design and construction of the
layout began in April 1990. The track plan was mapped out
using a Computer Aided Design system and, once finalised,
the resulting complex baseboard shapes were generated
from the same programme. There are over 25 trains moving
around the various circuits, so there should always be
something on the move. The locomotives and rolling stock
are a mixture of ready to run, modified and repainted or
kit built items.
