Dockland

This is the latest club layout to be started from scratch. It is being built on baseboards that have been reused after the Model Railway Challenge TV series.

It is being modelled in 7mm scale with features such as a ship coal loader being planned.

The initial layout plan has now been revised to take better account of the intricacies of dockside operations.

The layout is at a very early stage of construction.
