Shinkansen

This layout was originally the home project of one of our members, Mark Cosgriff. Sadly Mark passed away and his family very kindly donated his layout and stock to the group. Mark was a much travelled man so had decided to model the Japanese Railway. Always looking forward Mark had embarked on a complex computer controlled DCC layout.

The layout has been in storage for some time, but now we have space in the clubrooms, work has started to develop the layout for group use / exhibition.

The original baseboards were an irregular shape to fit the room into which it was originally fitted. Therefore the decision has been made to remove the track and rebuild the baseboards to a standard rectangular design.

Chris & Trevor have started work on building the baseboards.  Bob will take on the task of track planning and electrical design, as he had previously helped Mark with some of the technical aspects of the layout.
