The idea for a Scottish layout had been in our minds for a long time and the opportunity arose when a terminus layout had been started in the club, but never completed. It was decided by the group to alter this layout to a through station with the addition of two extra baseboards. The time is June, 1988
The track is SMP with handbuilt copper-clad style pointwork built by the late Norman Heaton and is operated by SEEP point motors while the layout is controlled by the excellent and very reliable hand-held controllers from Modelex.
It was intended that the scenery would depict the rambling Scottish countryside which soon then became a large forest planted by the use of Green Scenes' 'Forest in a Box.' This is at one end with the typical 'kirk' alone on the hillside. The station building is a modified WIlls kit while the Station Hotel is finished in white pebbledash and the local Post Office was scratch-built by Chris Hewitt.
