DCC Model Railway Layout - 00 Gauge
2490 mm long x 1210 wide DCC layout made with a lot of attention to detail and carefully crafted to resemble a fictional english country village built to showcase Thomas the tank engine and his friends.
If Thomas is not your thing the frame can easily be painted and the layout can be just a Hornby Skaledale layout.
It was a family project and we have completed it to a stage where you can personalize the layout with more fences, people and added details. The two bridges are not ballasted as they can be removed to allow resin to be poured into the river and lake area. We will include the ballast for you to complete the bridges and match the ballast to the existing colour on the layout.
All the building are quality resin most of them are Hornby with the exceptions of the resin Engine sheds by Scenix. The coal office and brake van that has been converted to a signal box, are both plastic models.
The station is a rare Hornby Thomas Great Waterton station which is much sought after and no longer available.
The DCC controller is an NCE PowerCab which is included with the layout.
The following locomotives are included.
Hornby LNER B12 with 3 Pullman coaches, a flatbed van and truck.
Lima LNER J50 with 2 trucks and 1 van.
If you would like a link to watch a video of trains running on the layout send me a message and I will send a link for the youtube video
Note: Thomas, Percy and James are not included with the layout but we may be selling them separately.
