Great Western mainline in South Devon on the edge of Dartmoor. Large viaduct where the line crosses the River Erme, with a station adjacent to the viaduct set on a hillside.

Hallam Town | BR secondary terminus on Western Midland region borders. | 3m x 0.2m |
Originally built by Alan Whitehouse, the layout is under new ownership. The setting is still British Railways but has evolved to represent Midland Region in the late 1950's/60's somewhere on the Western/Midland borders and depicts a secondary county town terminus that's just had a coat of paint. Local and cross country passenger share the station with a considerable amount of parcels traffic. New colour light signals are appearing, but will it survive Beeching? This classic Minories design is fully DCC operated. | ||

St Ruth is a 2mm finescale layout based on Penzance station. The track is soldered construction throughout and runs with DC controls. The stock is a mix of scratch and kit-built items as well as converted off-the-shelf items, and the operating sequence depicts a typical 24 hours in September 1965. | ||

Corrieshalloch | HR passing station on Kyle line. | 3m x 0.8m |
A fictitious passing station on the projected but never constructed line from Garve to Ullapool in north-west Scotland. I have tried to capture the expansive, open feel of the Highland Railway by modelling only half of the station, and am gradually building the stock to operate it in the pre-grouping period.
