Reg's HO train lay out

THE OAKHILL HO RAILWAY

 

40 YEARS OF CONSTRUCTION

 

BY REG ARCHIBALD

 

 

This layout was developed from a plan taken from a Kalmbach HO gauge track planning book.

 

It is lengthened and the engine roundhouse has been added. The dimensions are 13.5ft/7.5ft.

 

The layout is wired with 12 volt dc for one train operation at a time with 2 reversing sections.

 

There are 20 track switches and 9 locations where trains can be stored ready to run.

 

Power supply is controlled by both Peco switches and toggle switches.

 

The control center is set up for operation both outside and inside the layout .

 

The buildings streets and crossings are wired for illumination.

 

There is 1 power supply and a train sound generator.

 

The 7 stall roundhouse is constructed from angled metal strips that were soldered together using a preformed jig.
