| Wickford British OO Scale - 12 ( ? ) feet x 2 feet - Built 1977 |
|
| Wickford
was my first exhibition layout, built with my dad, probably over 1976/77,
with its first show in 1977. It was OO scale and was a point to point
layout, with a terminus station at one end and a hidden yard at the other.
It was stocked with mostly Hornby locos and accessories.
This is the only photograph of the layout. I don't recall the track plan or any other details other than the dual main lines went into a tunnel to enter the hidden yard. I don't know how long
it was kept in operation for, but as my first venture into N scale was
1979, mainly for space considerations, it probably only lasted a couple of
years before being sold or broken up for parts. It is so long ago, I have
no recollection of its fate. |
