The N Gauge layout represents the line that ran from Axminster to Lyme Regis. It passed over
Cannington Viaduct which settled during construction, hence the Jack arch at one end. Most of
the line was actually in East Devon, apart from Lyme Station in West Dorset 250’ above sea level
half mile from the coast. The single platform (300’ long) could accommodate five carriages. The
goods yard comprised three sidings and a goods shed. At the other end was an engine shed.
The line had switchback curves. Combpyne Station was the only intermediate stop on the line
which provided a passing place, together with a small cattle dock, later on a camping coach was
also located there. |

The layout is based on Sturminster Newton station on the Somerset and Dorset line north of Blandford in the Stour Valley. The layout is set in the final decade before the line closed in 1966. The next station south Shillingstone is preserved and
now forms the base for the Shillingstone Railway Project Shillingstone railway project |

BARRY INSPIRED SCRAPYARD AND TURNTABLE YARD | |||
Both these n gauge layouts are modular but are often linked together to form a ‘stand-alone’ layout at Exhibitions. Barry Inspired Scrapyard is a reverse corner layout built by Gilly North using non-working locomotives, tenders and brake vans, together with unwanted or broken buildings and track donated by Members of the WSNG. All the stock was heavily rusted and the buildings weathered. A simulated oxy-acetylene torch operates in the dismantling shed. It has featured in Model Rail (July 2017) and the N Gauge Journal (6/14) and believed to be unique. It is based in a sandpit. Peter North built the corner DCC steam Turntable Yard featuring the automated ADM stepper turntable. Each of these layouts can be shown separately, but complement each other when linked together and attract considerable interest at Exhibitions. The overall dimension is 8ft x 3ft and access is required by two operators at the rear. |

Hillside Park | |||
Hillside Park was originally planned to be a layout using only Minitrix stock from the 1970's to 1990's (Originally named Rixtimin). This changed when the option was taken to build as a DCC layout. The cost and difficulty of converting the locomotives to DCC made using modern Farish & Dapol stock more workable. It depicts a fictitious scene at the end of steam and beginning of the diesel era. The layout measures 8 feet by 6 feet. Viewing side is one side only. This layout is available for exhibitions as a standalone layout. It is built to be part of the WSNG modular layout. It is designed as a two operator layout, but can be operated solo. If you would like this layout at any show, please email Nigel Appleton at n.appleton888@btinternet.com. | |||

Staffordshire Potteries | |||
This model sets out to display a working Staffordshire Pottery prior to modernisation. It features smoking bottle kilns, an open cast mine, cramped housing adjacent to the works, and a funeral as life expectancy was short. It has featured in Model Rail. It can be displayed alone, or in conjunction with ‘Barry Inspired Scrapyard’ and/or ‘Turntable Yard’. Contact Gilly North northgilly@gmail.com |

Small N Working | |||
This is an exercise in minimalism even by N Gauge standards. A small and light hearted display of working N Gauge trains in what might seem impossibly small spaces. The cry or moan “I don’t have room for a layout” should not be heard any more. | |||
