Module Layouts Although we encourage members to get involved with module building there is no requirement to build one yourself. One of the many aims of the club is to provide the opportunity to gain advice on woodwork, wiring, scenery building, painting and much much more. Modular layouts allow for those lacking space at home to contribute to a much larger layout, but still work on their efforts whenever they want. You can contribute however you want with no special skills required, just the willingness to join in! | Construction Details **N-Mod Specifications coming soon** Until then please contact our chairman or come along to a club night for more information. | | Club Member's Modules | | Adam L. | Size: 8ft x 1ft Setting: **currently under construction** | | Alan S. | Size: 4ft x 2ft Setting: **Details to follow** | Dave B. | Size: 4ft x 2ft Setting: Scenery is based on a seaside inlet with peaceful small harbour entrance crossed by the 4 track mainline on a plate girder bridge and a number of small boats, plus additional detail in and around the harbour. Images of this module can be found >>HERE<< | | Doug S. | Size: 4ft x 2ft Setting: Named - Bucklebury, the setting is purely fictional, but based around a typical GWR country scene. Ingenious use of space has resulted in the use of eighteen points as well asa hidden fiddle yard. Featured is a 3 platform station with goods yard and a small branch line which climbs an embankment to the rear. | Graham G. | Size: 8ft x 2ft Setting: **Details to follow** | | Guy B. | Size: 4ft x 2ft Setting: Scenery is still in progress, but Guy's module is designed to be self operating with a connection to the mainlines at the front. The module features several sidings and a circuit with hidden fiddle yard at the rear. | Keith D. | Size: 8ft x 1ft Setting: Scenery is based on the Dawlish sea wall, with the up and down main lines along the sea wall, and the two relief lines behind the cliff face. Images of this module can be found >>HERE<< | Les W. | Size: 4ft x 2ft Setting: Scenery is based on a country estate scene, with disused station halt, and the ‘Time Team’ excavating the grounds of the estate, camp site and children play area and lots of additional details. Images of this module can be found >>HERE<< | Peter D. | Size: 12ft x 2ft Setting: Scenery is based on a mainline junction with closed branch line that has been taken over by a preservation society. Many aspects of the former junction are in use by the society, but platforms only remain on the relief lines. With 3 modules in the setup, space is wisely used and features industrial and rural activity as well as plenty of mixed traffic. Peter has consturcted a shed to house the layout as well as return loops and a fiddle yard to make the setup self operating. Images of his progress can be found >>HERE<< | Richard P. Module 1 | Size: 4ft x 2ft Setting: Scenery is based on a river valley scene with the 2 track mainline crossing the valley on an arched girder bridge, with the relief lines crossing on the old stone bridge, with a farm on the hill, a working windmill and various boats and river detail. Images of this module can be found >>HERE<< Richard also has a corner board that connects to and matches the scenes found on this one so that he can extend the setting and add variety to the arrangement of the modular layout. | | Richard P. Module 2
| Size: 4ft x 18"
Setting: Station scene under construction.
| Roger C. | Size: 8ft x 2ft Setting: **Details to follow** |
Club Owned Modules | Fiddleyard | Size: 8ft x 2ft Setting: Built to look like a typical railway stock storage yard, with abandoned loco and carriage used as mess hut, on a disconnected siding.
Up and Down main lines have 3 loops each, with the relief lines having 2 loops each resulting in a total of 10 lines for stocking the layout.
The relief lines can be switched out from the main control panel, to allow remote control from members’ modules to drive trains out onto the relief lines. Images of this module can be found >>HERE<< | Fairground Corner | Size: 2ft6in x 2ft6in Setting: Many details including fairground organ (with live fairground organ music), but lacking people, the notice on the foot bridge access across the 4 track railway line, states “Fair Opening tomorrow”. | Farm Yard Corner | Size: 2ft6in x 2ft6in Setting: Typical British country scene with much detail, including seagulls, crows and many other typical farm animals. | Airport Corner | Size: 2ft6in x 2ft6in Setting: Runway with marker lights and old aircraft used for training the rescue services and a possible sighting of Concorde in Virgin Atlantic colours. | Village Corner | Size: 2ft6in x 2ft6in Setting: A wealth of detail including a Gnome fishing in the mill pool, water mill, beer delivery to the pub and the church over looking the village.

| Old Modules | Adam L. | Size: 4ft x 2ft Setting: Named - Catashall Lane, the scenery is based on a micro container freight yard with train shed and refuelling point, with 7 sidings off the relief lines. With warehouse and many small details. This layout can be operated seperately from the four main lines adding additional activity to the modular layout when exhibited as well as when at home for running personal trains.
