Garston Yard is a 7mm depot layout by Andrew Evans of Buzz Models.

Photos taken at the Portsmouth Exhibition on 5th March 2004. Hollybank Depot and Westcliffe CCE Yard were linked together and run as one layout. This combination produces a 33 ft long layout with scenics the whole length. It is run in the period from the early 80's to the early 90's.

Hollybank Depot was built in 1990 and has been exhibited at over 40 model railway exhibitions across the country from Preston, York and Leeds in the north to Truro, Folkestone and Southampton in the south. The layout is now owned by the New Forest MRS and a some changes have been made to it. A new fiddle yard has been added and the scenics have upgraded including the addition of a scratchbuilt factory building across the fiddle yard entrance.

These photos are all taken of the layouts at the MIGO+1 Chester Exhibition in June 2008. It is a very good show with seven O gauge modern layouts plus trade stands and demo's.

These photos are all taken at The DEMU Showcase at Burton on Trent on 3rd June 2007. Simon from the Migo stand kindly let us have 37, 47286 and 47402 for the last hour of the show, all 3 are fitted with sound decoders and made an impressive noise.

These photos were all taken at the MIGO + 1 Chester Exhibiton on Oct 18/19 2003. Most of these photos feature visiting locos on the layout. The next exhibitions for Moonhill will at Chester 14/15 June 2008 and Folkestone 4th & 5th October 2008.

We purchased this layout in 1999 and it consisted of baseboards with track and wiring. We altered the track plan and re-wired to suit.
The track is all Peco apart from a 3 way point which is Marcway. All the points are operated by Tortoise point motors. The working colour light signals and level crossing gates are by Roger Murray.
The scenics were completed by Keith Naish. During 2006 we have fitted our locos with decoders and the layout is now DCC controlled using a Lenz system. The next Exhibition booked for this layout is at Folkestone on the 4th and 5th October 2008.

These photos were all taken on Moonhill Depot at the Chatham Exhibition on 12/13 June 2004. Some of the locos were visitors to the layout, 31420, 37516, 59103 and 66503 were all borrowed from Peter Clarks Bough Beech layout. 37416 was borrowed from Andrew Evans.

Photos of Dalry Road at our 2005 Exhibition in Brockenhurst, This is a late 60's mainly green diesel layout set in southern Scotland and was very popular at our show. Some of the locos are visitors to the layout from local club members which explains the presence of class 33's.

This is my 'O' Gauge garden railway which started running in July 2003 with about 8 metres of track in use. Track installation has continued and this year we have an out and back loop with a circuit in the garden for continuous running.
Next summer I hope to increase the size of the circuit and then eventually make it double track.

A few photos of 'O' Gauge trains from the 1960's era. Steam and Diesel on my garden railway which only started running in August 2003. I have very little steam stock and no green diesels so most of the photos in this section are visitors.

This is a new club which is located near New Milton on the Hampshire/Dorset border. It caters for O gauge and larger scales and the club room is available 7 days a week.

This is Tony Sinfield's layout featuring an Engineers yard plus private sidings for Bitumen tanks, Vans and Coal. Westcliffe CCE Yard is 18ft long including the Fiddle yard and is scenic for the full length. It can be exhibited on its own or linked to Mossbank Yard or Hollybank Depot or all 3 layouts can be joined together as one 52 foot long layout.
More information can be found at Tony's website on the links box. Westcliffe's next Exhibition will be at Alton on Feb 7/8 2009.

These photos were all taken at the Christchurch Exhibition on 27th and 28th September 2008. The layout was positioned at the rear of the stage and the lighting was very poor, this made the new recently installed colour light signals show up very well. The yard lamps and loco lighting were also very effective, but it made photography difficult so to get decent depth of field in these photos a tripod was used and long shutter speeds of up to 2 seconds. Westcliffe will next be exhibited at Alton on February 7th and 8th 2009.

Tony Sinfield's Westcliffe CCE Yard layout has appeared at 3 Exhibitions in 2009, they were Tolworth, Southampton and Alton. Along with other members of the New Forest MRS I have operated the layout at these shows where I have taken these photos. At Tolworth Westcliffe was joined to Mossbank Yard and Hollybank Depot forming a layout 52 feet in length, some of the photos are taken on these layouts as well.

Photos taken at the Railway Enthusiast's Club Woking Exhibition on Sept 17/18 2005. Layouts are 4mm Hanging Hill by Clive Mortimore, Tonbridge West Yard by Paul Wade, Waltham by Stephen Nicholls and our own 7mm Moonhill Depot.
