The End Of The Line Model Railway
The Narrow Gauge loco eases the loaded wagons over the tipping rails to drop the coal onto the onveyor and ino the waiting lorry. The standard gauge wagons aren't due to leave until tomorrow so their loading hasn't started yet. The scenery and setting has been modelled brilliantly.
By far, for me, the best model railway at the whole show was The End of The Line.
Representing a distribution point of a very small coal mining operation in the 1960s transferring the coal from Narrow Gauge railway either to Lorries or Standard Gauge railway ready for onward distribution.
The whole layout was working with tippers to tip the coal from the narrow gauge wagons either by conveyor belt to the waiting Lorry or down into a waiting coal wagon on the standard gauge tracks. Even the Lorries moved by remote control, the lorry being powered by a battery from an iPod nano, meaning they had a very realistic movement.
The scenic area of the layout was only 3ft x 5ft.
009 and O gauge tracks operated by DCC, vehicles by remote control.
