The now 29 foot by 13 foot oval layout has PECO six foot radius points, switched using ‘H & M’ point motors and micro-switches from a single control panel. A ‘Codar 2000’ feedback controller is used to drive up to three trains at a time. This means that there is an opportunity to provide the layout with scenery and buildings.
The layout has been built to display reasonable length trains and allows continuous running, those trains being run reflecting the varying interests of the membership. The layout is operated on the fourth Thursday of the month and if you are an 'O' gauge modeller we would love to see your models running on our layout! |
