Gordon′s Lane is a fictional location somewhere on the Wessex Mainline. It will be modelled with 3rd rail and multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) maintenance depot alongside the running lines. The layout will be DCC controlled with full colour light signalling.

All the front and curved boards are 1ft wide, but the fiddle yard has been increased to 2ft wide, doubling the number of storage lines. The layout is being constructed using "Tim Horn Laser cutting" baseboards. These are great products, they are easy to build and light-weight enough for transporting around for exhibitions.

The Wessex Mainline has a large assortment of available rolling stock that could be operated on the layout. Many models are available from the usual modelling companies. Current models I own that could make appearance at Gordon′s Lane include:

Multiple Units:

Class 450, Class 170, Class 159, Class 158, Class 220, Class 221, Class 800.

Locos:

Class 66, Class 59, Class 70, Class 60, Class 50, Class 37, Class 73.

Other:

Multi-Purpose Vehicles (MPV), Tampers, On-Track achines(OTM), Various types of wagons.
