Following the death of one of our longest serving members, Derek
Taylor early in 2007, his collection of Tri-ang TT gauge model railway
equipment came into our possession. Derek had, for may year's,
said that he wanted to build a layout to display these items but sadly
he never got around to it. The society thought that it would be a
fitting tribute to Derek to build this layout in his memory.
The layout measures 5ft x 3ft and consists of a double track mainline
with sidings and loco sheds etc. All of the trackwork is Tri-ang
Type B and all of the buildings are from the extensive range in the
Tri-ang catalogue. The locomotives and rolling stock are all
Tri-ang.
The baseboard, which is cork covered, 9mm MDF with a
timber sub-frame and trestles has been supplied by TheGoodsYard
The layout made its first public appearance at the Clubroom Open Days
in May 2007. It is intended that further features will be added to
the model including electric points and a turntable, in time for our
2007 Model Railway Exhibition in November.
