At present we have seven layouts in various stages of completeness housed in our clubrooms ranging from 2mm (N) gauge to 7mm (O) gauge: |
-
Clarendon - Scalefour
Having completed our EM layout Walford Town, we began thinking about our next project. Many of the group were already modelling P4, and there was a general consensus that the new club layout should be to these standards. In contrast to Walford Town, a steam era layout was preferred, and a period of circa 1908 had general support. However, there the agreement ended. The great diversity of interest amongst the members was such that no one railway company was of interest to more than one or two of us.

Duxbury - OO gauge
Duxbury is the OO gauge club layout of the L&WMRS. As such, it designed to keep a large number of operators busy whilst providing a continuous circuit for members who wish to test locomotives and rolling stock.
-
Kimble - O Gauge
Since Mallory Road was rejuvenated the ‘O’ gauge group has grown considerably and some have built larger engines not suitable for a small industrial layout.
Also many members were interested in being able to ‘watch the trains go by’ and so the idea of a continuous run layout was born. With the kind agreement of the other sections of the Club a layout measuring approximately 32 feet by 16 feet (sorry my age restricts me to this type of measurement!) has been planned.

Mallory Road - O gauge
To look at our layout now you wouldn't believe that it was once up for sale because of lack of interest. In its original form it appears in the Gauge "O" Guild small layout booklet (volume 2) under the name of Deepwell. But now after a lot of hard work by the members (everyone's done something) we now have a smashing little layout that might even join the exhibition circuit.
-
Meacham - N gauge
Meacham is based on a ficticious small town in Derbyshire. It consists of a through station, a branch line, a goods yard and a factory siding. It has been designed and built by the N gauge members of the Leamington & Warwick MRS over the last ten years.
-
Toddington - OO Gauge - Juniors
The Junior Layout is of Toddington Station on the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway as it is now. The railway operates trains hauled by a range of preserved steam and diesel locomotives between Toddington and Cheltenham Race Course stations. The choice of a railway as it is now provides the Juniors with opportunities to visit the railway, to research it in detail and to get a feel for the life of the railway.

Walford Town - EM gauge
Walford Town is an EM gauge ayout that has been shown in Model Railway Journal (No. 70) and Railway Modeller along with touring much of the country at various exhibitions.
