The Club layouts,
Below you will find a selection of layouts, click on the layout name or photo (if present) for more information and photographs...
"N" Gauge
When our 'N' gauge layout was built, it was decided to make
the layout modular with common main boards which has the fiddle yard on
them and inter-changeable front modules.
The 2 main boards were originally 5.5 feet long by 3 feet wide giving
an overall layout size of 11 feet by 3 feet. A few years later, a 5ft
extension board was made that fitted between the end boards making the
layout 16ft overall ( NB. this option is presently NOT available )
This configuration has allowed us to build a total, so far, of 4 "fronts"
but this has since been reduced to 3 operational "fronts".
The 3 layouts available are....
Though a fictitious layout, Anvilton may give the viewers
the impression that it could possibly be a location on the 'Settle to
Carlisle' line as the structures displayed on the layout are based on
actual buildings seen along this historic route
Lake
Havnaklu
A fictitious layout set either in the American North West or the Applachian
reagion of the USA. Two independent tracks cross a lake with steam &
diesel hauled trains running both directions on each track..
Kelninjo-Mae
A fictitious model of a Japenese station whose traffic consists of
several sets of Diesel Motor Passenger Units, Excursion Sets, Diesel Freight,
Engineering trains and several Electric Sets of Mainline Passenger, Sleepers
and Container Traffic.
This layout has also formed the basis of an American style station and has been displayed as such
This layout was inherited, unfinished, from our late club member Gordon
Middleton, who died from cancer before he could finish it.
We hope we have finished it as he would have liked....
Swinlees
"OO" Gauge
.Geographically, the location is wherever the viewer wants it to be. However
the track formation is based on the section of G&SWR main line between
Glasgow and Ayr, near the prsent exchange sidings at Roche Products factory
at Dalry where there was previously a colliery called Swinlees.
The layout was finished in time of our show and despite very little operator
practise, worked well.
The layout is now up in the club house where the '00' gauge group enjoy
playing trains and displaying the hugh amount of stock they have...
Jefferson Junction "'HO" Gauge
The name was chosen at random but it is hoped to portray somewhere
in the mid west of the USA or Canada to allow the much varied stock that
the members have to be displayed. Also, the time period will allow anything
from "Big Boy's" to modern diesels to be displayed.
Garnock
"O" Gauge
Garnock is an extensive refurbishments of an old 'O' Gauge layout, which,
in it's previous form was last seen as a continuous-run layout in 1999
This layout depicts a station at the end of section of single track where
the track resumes a double track formation. It has a small engine shed
& yard where spare stock can be stored for display purposes..
This layout features a 12ft long model of a viaduct, typical
of those that can be seen in and around Ayrshire.
The layout has now been to 2 local shows and the '0' gauge meeting at
Telford in September '06...
