Wincanton

Description based on material supplied by the layout owner

Wincanton  
Richard Holmes N fine gauge 2mm scale

Wincanton MPD is a small motive power depot based loosely on the Somerset and Dorset.

The period of the layout is circa. 1960 and most of the stock is either former London Midland Scottish or British Railways standard. Whilst the Somerset and Dorset was always a steam line, occasionally green era diesels appear, usually on the days of Wincanton races, which also brings visiting steam engines in for servicing.

The layout is modelled in 2mm scale and the track is 9mm code 40 Finetrax. This accepts standard modern N gauge locomotives to be run without modification.

The turntable is Peco, which has been modified to accept electrical power and the layout operation is analogue.
