This is the clubs as yet un-named N gauge layout and it is based on the North Wales coast railway using the trackplan of Holywell Junction as a basis for the layout.

       The period that the layout will be modelled in is the late 1950's to early 1960's. This allows a nice variety of steam engines plus the occasional diesel to be run. As we will be modelling the layout in the summertime we can have a frequent service as countless holiday makers would travel by train to holiday on the North Wales Coast.

Both local and express trains will be seen as well as freight.

Features to be included on the layout are a single line branch to the town, the head of a quarry with rail and dockside loading facilities (a bit like at Penmaenmawr) and of course that typical North Wales feature, a caravan site.

Ours will be between the railway and the sea as many typically were and indeed still are!

       The size of the layout overall is 15' x 6' 4” and will be operated from a central well. Control will be by conventional DC as this allows both old, new, DC and DCC locomotives to be run. Track is mainly Peco code 55 with code 80 to be used in the fiddle yard. We are re-using track we already had as well as buying any we needed as this seemed to be the most cost effective way of doing things.

Plus we're recycling, so its green!

        The N gauge section of our club is quite small in numbers and new members are always welcome.

As the layout progresses more pictures will appear.
