Lananta Quay  
Nick Salzman 21/14.2mm gauge 3mm scale

This cameo style layout was designed to fit in a carrying box 700mm long, 300mm wide and 240mm deep.

It is situated in the area around North Devon or Cornwall and takes its inspiration from Lelant and its associated quay sidings on the St Ives branch. The old quay in the centre of Newquay Harbour. Plus Fremington Quay on the extension of the old North Devon Railway.

It features a quay on wooden trestles tied up to which is a West Country smack. The sandy estuary has a small creek running under a timber bridge and passing nearby Lime kilns. A small station serves the area.

The track features mixed gauges of the old 7 foot Broad gauge and Standard gauge. The period is from the late 1870's until the end of the broad gauge in 1892.

Traffic includes both broad gauge and standard gauge passenger, freight and fish trains.
