Ashton Meadows BR (WR) Late 1980's

Ashton Meadows is a small British Rail (BR) Engineers depot, based loosely on the Ashton Meadows facility in Bristol and anyone familiar with the depot will recognize the buildings. However, it is generic in its design and can be used as if on any BR region. It is an opportunity to operate some of the vast selection of engineers stock that we have built up over the years and will no doubt involve some yellow painted vehicles as well.

The layout is designed to be operated with either DCC or DC control.

Operation is as a shunting puzzle, with cards containing pictures of wagons shuffled and dealt to the various sidings for the operator to replicate. Hours of shunting fun!
