This is a photo of oo gauge train wheel cleaner and 009 narrow gauge for trains the same size as oo but with narrower track for trains and narrow gauge trains. The black ones are for really dirty wheels and the white is used after to make it super clean. 
This is all in a sliding drawer and is suitable for both analog and digital systems. I used kitchen runners only costing £3. The wires are soldered  onto brass screws straight from the track.  It clips on and off with crocodile clips. 

Class 86 BR 1990ties electric engine with 9 coaches. These blue Pullman coaches were running by Rail Tours,  a private company.  Before that it was BR British Rail intercity colours, black and cream with red and white stripes, starting in the 80ties up until 1997 

This video shows a Royal Mail Diesel Train, class 47 from the 1990ties. It was stopped early this century because it was thought to be better and cheaper by road.

Class 37 diesel locomotive with digital sound. At first this class was painted green in the British Rail colours when launched in the 1960's its shown here in 1990's colours. A sleeper train from Fort William to London.


Private rail company 'Blue pulling' colours from the 1990's. This locomotive is a class 47 diesel locomotive. Like the class 37 it would have been in BR colours in the 1960's when launched.


Diesel takers attached to the above lass 47 diesel locomotive. The large takers are 100 tonnes, the smaller ones 50 tonnes. The 100 ton tankers are 12 inches long. The 50 ton tankers are 6 inches long.


These are coaches from the private rail company 'Blue pulling' in 1990's colours. The are mark II's and one mark I restaruant car.


Compter controller one, and two.


Coach in the middle of the image is the 'Blue pulling' restaurant car. It still needs spray painted blue and varnished.

A container ship under construction in the harbour.



This is a 3 way radio switc for the turntable, analog and digital and I have to programme it to digital.  That way I can run it either analog or digital.



This is the digital handset number three, starter class and I can add more handsets later, up to 8.  A 4 amp controller.

This is a picture of the control board panel


This shows a picture of 009 narrow gauge steam train locomotor engine shed that is being scratch built out of pieces of plastic.  I still have to make doors and roof. Then I will spray paint it

A picture of the gasworks down by the harbour that I have started.  It is coal made into gas and the two tall structures are gastanks. In the background you see a boiler house.  Later I will add coal bunker and offices.

This is a picture of the turntable and at the back are two tracks for coaches and wagons.


This is a picture of level 2,3 and 4


This picture also shows four sidings for steam engines. Two tracks behind it are for coaches or goods wagons.


This is a picture of the coal hopper for steam engines. Also 3 engine sheds for 6 diesel trains and an 11ft train station to be built.


Here you see level one and two for trains that go right round the circle.  The engine shed at the back holds two eleven feet trains.

This is a view of the level two with a big train station that I am planning just now.


This is a photo of the proposed turntable area linking level 2 with level 3.





This is a picture of 3 double track engine sheds. It is level 2 you see now that I have screwed the boards down so now you cannot see the 13 trains below.
At the far end on your right you see the 009 track being prepared for level 4 scene for trams on N gauge track.  Trams are narrow gauge with 00 gauge bodies but the model I have has N gauge wheels to fit the tracks.  I built these a few years ago.  



This is a close look at level 4 tram line under construction.


This shows you a bit more of the tram line behind the church.


This is a picture of where the 00 trains will go under the bridge and trams above at level 4. The holes are to be covered with lift-of scenery to fix derailed trains.

Here you can see a bit of the wall on the left where there will be a hill which can lift giving access to the tunnel in case of derailing.  This tunnel is 5m long and give access all along the tracks.  On top there will be scenery.


This shows you the structure for the mountain which can lift up to give acces for derailing trains.


This shows you the mountain area lifting up and a new section of wall at the back.
