This layout depicts a corner of a fictitious iron and steel works in the South Bristol area around the early 1970s. Iron Mould Lane, itself a real place, and runs through the works with overhead pipe bridges and conveyors crossing to other parts of the site. Most of the large buildings are scratch-built from plasticard on plywood shells although the blast furnace itself, is a modified Walthers kit.

Rail traffic varies from the torpedo wagons carrying the molten iron from the blast furnace cast house and the crucible wagons with slag for the tip, to the works engineers' wagons on internal use and the British Railways stock delivering equipment for the maintenance into the engineers' yard.

Steam locomotives are constantly coming 'on' and 'off' shed for duty in other parts of the works with diesels appearing for fuel at the refuelling point nearby. Who knows, you may see the occasional enthusiastic brake van tour around the works to catch the last wisps of industrial steam.
