Derwent Road: 9mm: Model Railway

Derwent Road: 9mm: Model Railway
The layout was inspired by visits to the Leighton Buzzard Light Railway. This model is of a fictitious 18' gauge line built to the west of the standard gauge main line that would have been the destination for loaded sand trains. The railway is shared between the sand company and the preservation society with sand trains still running the entire length of the railway but the preservation society's passenger trains terminate at Derwent Road. The baseboards are built from 6mm ply. Derwent Road is controlled using a Digitrax DCC system: the track is Peco 009 with Cobalt IP digital point motors. The control system, lights, and sound are built into the two boards: this reduces the layout setup time. The photographic backdrop was produced by a commercial printing firm from a panorama of 6 images. The rolling stock is a mixture of kits and scratch-built
