We have three layouts that we can take to exhibitions and a fourth, a club room layout, is under continuing refurbishment.
Dewhurst is our "O" gauge layout named from some of our members affection for "Last of the Summer Wine". It was conceived as a Great Western/LNWR joint station.
Track and points are a mixture of hand built and proprietary. Tony, JohnB, Mike and Phil added a small extension to the station end. JohnB, Alan and Martin have improved the arrangement of the station throat and have sorted out the wiring that the change entailed. Geoff built a new point for the yard.
Quarry Halt is a small "OO" gauge layout depicting a small halt and yard. During the last two years it has undergone a lot of refurbishment and now has electronic control of points and has been fully signalled. In this state it has visited several exhibitions including several for Amersham's Heritage Days, which take place in September. The layout is only 16 inches deep. It is available for exhibitions, contact us on aandcmrs@gmail.com
Our OO9 layout is called Talybont. It is a typical narrow gauge railway and includes two stations, a quarry and an engine shed. John B rewired that some time ago and added the quarry and the backscene. It was decided to take it to Amersham's Heritage Day in 2026 and so the main control panel was upgraded to use two controllers. Some other light refurbishment was done. Following the show it was clear more work is needed to make it more reliable for exhibition.
We have called the clubroom 4mm layout Farrington Road in memory of a well loved member who died a few years ago, it was a popular choice by members. It is a large oval that incorporates a 4 platform station, a branch line, two small goods yards and a 14 road fiddle yard.
