Club's  former 00 layout. 
Southwick Photos

Set between 1964 and 1967 (End of the BR Southern Region).  The layout represents a fictitious junction station and goods yard on the Southern Region. As it is modelled in the Mid to late 1960s southern region diesels are becoming more numerous with steam still the main source of motive power. Locomotives seen are mostly BR Standards and Bulleid designs with a few drummond, maunsell and billington locos still in operation. Diesels in use are Class 33’s, 25’s, 24’s, 47’s, 08’s and 205’s. Set Somewhere in the Hampshire area the layout is able to run long freight trains and passenger trains from the the Western section of the southern region as well as the odd semi-suburban EMU’s operating local stopping trains. The station is pure imagination, with a small goods yard and short branch line serving a small local fishing port 20 miles away.
 
With the station being a junction all semi-fast passenger services stop at the station with the occasional expresses stopping. The goods depot is served by both road and rail with both industrial steam and diesel locomotives shunting stock around. Majority of trains are hauled by Southern motive power however Midland region diesel locomotives and a handful of western region locomotives do appear with trains on their way to Southampton. The aim of the layout was to create a large continuous run junction with constant movement and the ability to run near scale length trains.
 
Constructed on purpose built plywood baseboards with Peco OO trackwork (Code 75), the scenic area of the layout is large with a variety of countryside scenes and of course a large station area. Mostly modified Wills, Ratio and Peco kits. Rolling stock is mostly from Bachmann ,Hornby, Heljan and kits by Parkside Dundas, Cambrian and Modified Dapol/Airfix.
