Wellington Road
4mm Finescale Group Huddersfield Railway Modellers.
As our previous layout Hebden Bridge is around 15 years old, the group decided to commence building a new layout. As with our previous layout we decided we wanted a layout based and an actual location. After some months of research and discussion we decided to attempt to build a model based on Dewsbury Wellington Road. The station is on the ex London North Western line between Manchester and Leeds. One advantage from a research point of view is that the station buildings are largely intact.
The layout itself is a continual run of approximately 28ft x8ft. At the moment (25/05/2017) all the baseboards are complete and in stitu, most of the station buildings are complete and we are now proceeding to complete the track laying.
All the track work is code 75 bullhead rail with all the scenic side point work being hand built. The layout will be wired for DC. running with points and signals operated by the MERG system of controls and servos.
It is also our intention to incorporate a working road way at the front of the layout.
