A DCC operated 00 gauge garden railway still under construction, built by Simon Reynolds. Track on the layout is mostly modern hornby with all Peco points, using the largest radius when ever possible, and is currently held down by various manufacturers track pins. It is laid on B&Q smooth face Pre-treated Decking boards. Corners from 18mm Marine ply. Raised beds built to support the track using Woodblox (www.woodblocx.co.uk) There are no plans to ballast it yet but you never know!

The layout is Controlled by MRC Prodigy Advance DCC system and Gaugemaster dual Analogue system (separately connected depending on what the operator wants to run) Simon is currently in the process of updating to later Bachmann, New Hornby and Heljan models. Chips being fitted are varied but mostly Bachmann EZ command 4 function (actually a Lenz 1014), great deal done for simon by Shrewsbury Model Centre.

Buildings are a Mixture of Skaledale, Scenix, Knightwing and Pikestuff. The rolling stock is various and ever changing. Track base wiring is 2mm speaker cable. (low voltage low resistance) The track is soldered into sections at the fish plates, each section has its own power feed. No isolation is required as it's dcc. The suspension bridge on the layout is home made and not quite right yet. Built from various ally sections and steel cable. Epoxy glued together. Arch bridge from SGB model Engineering Modified with their help to suit OO. SGB Model Engineering Contact details can be found here - SGB contact details
