The End of The lIne Model Railway.
The Narrow Gauge train prepares to reverse to the unloading area where this load of coal will be tipped into a waiting lorry. The next lorry awaits its turn for the next train alongside, keeping company with a Land Rover. The scenery is very well done on this layout and captures the atmosphere perfectly.
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.
