Burntwood Heath 00 Gauge 1990s

[daryl43068]

Hi All,

 

Thought I would share the progress of my 00 gauge layout 'Burntwood Heath'. It's 6ft x 2ft and represents a small stabling point with basic depot facilities, including a fuel point, wash plant and a Carraige and Wagon siding. It is set in a city/ industrial setting, with a motorway overbridge forming the backdrop/ scenic break. Trackwork is Peco code 100 and points are powered by Cobalt motors.

 

An overall view of the layout. The siding at the back is just a siding, with the fiddleyard disappering to the right. The fuel point is whare the inspection pit is, with a short siding for a rail tanker to be offloaded. The grey area will be hard standing/ compact ballast, with two loco holding sidings infront. Moving to the right hand side, at the back is the C&W siding, a short stubby siding for half a coach, and two sidings at the front to display stock. Finally in the middle (where the lack of sleepers are) is the wash plant area.

No nothing in the name, layout isn't set in any area. I wanted to stay away from the Lane, Junction, Road sorta names, and just happend to see a lorry with Burntwood on the side and it just clicked.
