Carlton Metals The layout was built as an entry into the 2003 small layout competition staged by the D&E societies at their annual meeting in Burton-on-Trent and Carlton Metals was selected as the winner. The layout is based in the Nottingham area and features a metal scrap works dealing with the disposal of worn-out railway stock, with the occasional locomotive being deposited before being scrapped. Trackwork was built using SMP fine scale with the exception of the central diamond crossing which is Peco.
