Personal Layouts
.
Gillibrand Park - Ken Davis
Ken likes to build kits and alter RTR locos so his layout is based on an MPD in the London Midland Region during the late 1950's / early 1960's
Stockshed
Built by the late Eric Stocker this diesel and electric stabling and servicing layout has been updated by Geoff Barker. It is now operated mainly based on the railways of the Czech Republic.
Northern Junction
Dave Hall has created this scenic layout that captures the atmosphere of The Borders in modern times.
Dave and other members took the layout to Birstall 2025 Annual Exhibition and had a successful weekend.

Allsop Quarry - Jacob Allsop
Jacob creates small and atmospheric layouts depicting the industrial scene. Here we have his slate quarry. This was seen at our Annual Exhibition in 2024. Jacob also exhibited the layout at the Birstall 2025 Annual Exhibition.
Matlock Riverside - David Down
David volunteers at Peak Rail and has created an N gauge layout of the Matlock Riverside area. This was shown at the 2024 exhibition
The Danesmoor, Wingerworth and Ankerbold Light Railway
Darrell Clark has created this layout using a model built by the late Richard Lane (based on the County Donegal Railway in Ireland) rebuilt into a Peak District light railway set in the 1930s. He has a particular interest in figures and has created stories about them for articles written for the Journal of the 7mm Narrow Gauge Association.
Nantlle Valley Railway
This is Malcolm Wilkinson's Nantlle Valley Railway; an intricate and atmospheric Welsh narrow gauge and standard guage layout that can fascinate you for hours with the super scenic modelling and involved operation.
Hogwart's - Malcolm Wilkinson
Malcolm has built a magic model of the castle that we can take to exhibitions. It is a great favourite with children and adults. It is also part of the Hogwarts model that shows the Hogwarts Express and other trains at the station.
James Harrison's Layouts
James is a prolific builder of layouts in various scales from N to 0. You can find details of his modelling explorations on YouTube, the 'Links' page has a link which will take you direct to his 'Brockwell Lane' channel. The following photographs show two of his previous layouts which have been replaced by new projects.
Wingfield Junction
Wingfield Junction was built by David Down and Geoff Barker. It was a large, circular layout portraying a Derbyshire Station from the 1950's to the 1980's. Sadly it has come to the end of its life and has been retired but some photos have been retained to show the excellent modelling that made it so popular when it was exhibited.
Mettesford
Another exhibition layout which has been retired. David Down built this N gauge 2mm layout that had Matlock in the 1950s and 60s as its inspiration.
