Description based on material supplied by the layout owner
Bridge Street The layout is based on a OO gauge layout that was built by a small group of modellers called the Taunton Model Railway Group back in the 1970's that was called Tamrig Central. Most people will be familiar with the Bath Green Park, Somerset and Dorset layout, which normally lives in their clubrooms at Bishop Lydiard station on the West Somerset Railway. My layout so far is several years work and is still not finished yet. This is a lifelong wish from my college days when I can remember seeing the original layout at the Bristol and York shows, later in life I came to know some of the original members. Baseboards are all made of Birch plywood and Peco code 55 track work has been used throughout. The four track main line layout is analogue control but using some of the latest technical principles. Scenecraft buildings have been used to good effect for the urban back scene and many more including scratch built items. I hope you like what you see and please do ask questions. I would also like to thank my friends of the Shirehampton Model Railway Club who have contributed to the layout. |
