New Stanton Lees
OO Gauge by
Derek Gillkerson
Having discovered that the
original STANTON LEES baseboard had collapsed I decided to rebuild the
layout completley, using new materials, track plan, Peco code 75 track &
live frog points .
Most infrastructure is new,
the remainder “Recycled“ from the previous layout.
This small layout 96“x12“
(8’x1’) (244cmx31cm). was built to operate Class 121, and Class 153,
Diesel Multiple Units, also on the layout can be seen “Track
Refurbishment Units“, Class 37, 47, 66, Diesel Locomotives, and Eddie
Stobart “VGA Vans“. Most of the units have had the couplings converted
to “Kadee“ makes that area look more realistic and easier to couple two
units together.
The warehouse complex and
loading/unloading dock is by Modern Structures in Miniature. On the
layout are the new 1/76 scale EDDIE STOBART lorries and the Stobart
Coach. (The Coach is used by Carlisle Football Club and Stobart Motor
Sport personnel).
Layout does not resemble
any location, just a compact layout to show how much can be put into a
small space, yes, you do not need a double bedroom, full size loft,or a
double garage. (Dream on)!
Name of STANTON LEES (The
original layout) was an inspiration from my Wife, so as to keep the
memory of this very small village which is way up in the Peak District
of Derbyshire (Where we have spent many a Holiday) it was decided to
name the replacement layout “NEW“ STANTON LEES.
My thanks to Ron Boreham
and David O’Meara for their help and advice in building this layout, and
to George Gibbins for the layout drawing.
