Quarry Bank
This U shaped out and back layout was purchased by one of the Marchwood Modellers as a means to fast track entry into OO9 modelling. The layout is operational but is still a work in progress. Slowly, but surely, we are making progress through our list of enhancements, most of which concern the scenery. Currently, we are approximately 25% of the way through the layout's to do list.
Since its appearance at the 2024 New Milton exhibition (see video below), more scenic work has been undertaken, together with some behind the scenes enhancements to improve the electrical connections.
Other planned enhancements include continuing scenic work and adding isolating sections to the sidings to enable more varied operation.
The layout is operated from within the U. On one side there is a high level quarry line and a low level mainline station. The mainline runs past the village at the front and turns up the other side of the U, past the railway yard and over a canal to a halt that serves the farm and market garden. The mainline then runs past the village again, via a reversing loop, to return to the mainline station.
