Great news for 2026 is that work is well under way for a New ‘Large’ Burton Crumpnold Layout.
During 2025 the loft has been converted to a railway room. This gives me something in the order of 5m x 3m ( 18ft x 9ft).
Here is a photograph of the space and the mostly completed baseboards.
The current plan is for a large ‘Art Deco Station on a two track mainline. In addition a branch line climbs out of the station up to, on the other side of the room, a small branch line station. This small station drops back down around the room to meet at the main station. A bronch from the small station also decendes to a very small seaside terminus station. Hopefully illustrated here –
Over the next few days I will be updating the website to show what has been going on…
This will replace the original ‘Burton Crumpnold’ 8x4ft ‘OO’ gauge layout… and its successor Burton Peonix (See Below)
As Burton Crumpnold will be a permanant layout – I am left with my ‘N’ Gauge ones should I wish to do any exibiting…
‘Stowey Green‘ – a is small ‘N’ gauge GWR layout..
Initially started as a project to do while the original ‘Burton Crumpnold’ layout was in pieces,
and finally completed as a ‘LockDown’ project in 2021
.. As it turned out I had a few bits and pieces (Mostly involving station and platform parts)..
So under construction is an even smaller ‘N’ Gauge Layout called ‘Stowey Town’….
