Northwick- 4mm scale mainline terminus
Northwick is a popular 4mm scale mainline terminus that has been refreshed and improved over many years.
This is the largest of our ‘00’ layouts and is a mainline terminus to fiddle-yard project Representing a “might have been” seaside resort on the Bristol Channel.
The late BR late steam / diesel transition era gives scope for a wide variety of trains.
The station has three platforms, a goods yard and a servicing point where locos can be turned and prepared for their return journey. An additional baseboard is under construction to provide a branch-line junction for another source of traffic.
The layout has been off the exhibition circuit for a few yearsand this has enabled track alterations. An important one being the construction of at double slip to permit easier access to the yard and engine facilities.
Rewiring, in conjunction with the track alterations, has enabled the introduction of MERG ‘CBUS’ control system. Arrivals and departures are set by ‘one-push’ route selection switches, the yard and some other local movements retain manual push button control.
Northwick are led by an energetic team and additional members to the group are welcomed.
Like all our Club Layouts, you are invited to run any stock compatible with the track and power system.
