Millfield Road represents a small town station on the former Great Northern Railway in the West Riding of Yorkshire during the British Railways period towards the end of steam.

The layout is built to P4 standards using a combination of hand-build and C&L flexible track. It is laid on 8mm foam, covered with a layer of cord and ballasted in the usual manner. Fine sand, coloured by adding powder paint to the PVA glue mix, is used to represent ash ballast in the yards. The turnouts are ply and rivet construction with cosmetic chairs, operated by heavily modified solenoid point motors. Alex Jackson couplings are used, with delayed remote uncoupling by electro-magnet, and control is by Stuart Hine's Pentroller

The setting is inspired by Laisterdyke with many buildings being scratch-built. The goods shed is based on Pellon and the signal box is scratch-built to standard G.N. design. During G.N. days it was known as Millfield Road. However, after nationalisation, it lost the appendage 'Road' to avoid confusion with the ex-L&Y station of the same name near Horbury.

Stock is mainly hand-built and all locomotives have compensated chassis. They are typical of the area in the late 50s and include a model of the very last steam locomotive constructed at Doncaster works which was a 4MT Standard Mogul number 76114.
