Dreary has been temporarily dismantled as part of a general 'tidy up'. I decided that what I was trying to portray in the space I was using wasn't working. I may come back to it, or start again, but for now it's all safely packed away.
I can't have nothing on the go can I? So.. welcome to 'Winkford'.. a OO9 layout.
So far boards built and track laid and wired up.
The railway will hopefully portray a fictitious light railway built 'locally' (Notts, Derbys, Lincs area) and set around the mid 1930s.
I've decided to stick to broadly Welshpool and Llanfair type stock for consistency. I already have a a couple of Hunslets and ordered some kits from Ninelines.
Hopefully the pictures give an idea of what is planned..(at the moment.. some things may move around a little.. I'm not sure of the placing of the station building yet)
First, the layout as it is today, on my bookshelf. It is 4ft x x1ft:
Next some visual notes which hopefully give an idea of what is planned:
This Wills kit will serve as the main station building when I've finished hacking at it:
A scratchbuilt ramp for loading sheep / cattle (along with Ninelines W&L sheep wagon):
A view of a train entering the station as it crosses Main Road. The yard office and coal siding in front:
A higher view of the train on the ungated crossing on Main Road. (Two Skaledale buildings here):
This Skaledale pub looks a lot like one or two I've known locally, including the 'Worlds End' in Lambley:
A view up Main Road as the train crosses - a photo temporarily in place of where a low relief building will be placed:

That looks like it's going to be a really nice layout. It's got atmosphere already!
