New Layout September Running session 2022 | Trepatrick Junction
I have been working hard since September 2021 on my new layout which is still currently in the early stages of construction. It features two main lines and a through station of 3 platforms (the third is a terminus), the layout is built using PECO code 75 concrete sleeper track and respected to give a more realistic look.
The layout Runs on DCC with the NCE power cab.
Other scenes it features is a caravan park (based on the Valley Caravan Park in Polzeath, North Cornwall), a Castle (not based on any protoype, a river with a waterfall and rock face, as well as a bridge and tunnels. There is also a level crossing with working lights and a supermarket and small town.
I have also managed to have working boats in the river and working cars and bikes in the caravan park, using a chain and sprocket set, a thin plastic base and magnets on the chain and models (this is based off the idea of the Magnorail system, which was well out of my budget!)
