The layout represents a section of the West Coast main line between London and the Northwest.

Planning and construction took place over a four year period when overhead electrification was sadly neglected in British N gauge.

Track is mostly Peco code 80 with hand made pointwork. The catenary is hand made from soldered rail plus our own brass etchings for some of the gantries. The overhead wires themselves are nylon fishing line. The four aspect signals, which are interlocked, are hand made and are reset to red automatically by the passage of a train onto the relevant track circuit.

Although the stock could be decribed as "modern image" it covers the decade of the 1990's when loco hauled trains with a DVT at the other end still reigned supreme.
