About Farnborough Road
Scale: 7mm:1 foot
Period: 1950s
Location: Fictitious ex-LSWR
Size: 32 ft x 3 ft (terminus) or 40 ft x 16 ft (oval)
A fictional terminus somewhere
in Berkshire on a North / South axis which feeds the local industry
and lots of commuters. The period is after nationalisation in the mid-fifties.
We are trying to model a
typical new township expanding and having some industries and a lot
of passenger workings. You will see a milk collection depot which forwards
tankers to Vauxhall and collects churns and sends them back to the farms.
The train service provides local workings to the western region by 14XX
engines and a push-pull coach. The southern has a two coach set which
serves the intermediate stations.
There is a semi fast working
to London Bridge via Redhill and occasional regional workings from the
midlands.
The layout as a terminus has had one outing with the new cassette based fiddle yard.
The layout as an oval with through station still needs some work which should be complete by October 2012.
See list.
