Bring along your rolling stock to test or play on our Test Tracks
The club currently has two test tracks.
The main test track is a circular/oval-shaped multi-gauge circuit. The layout has 5 seperate circuits of track, one each of N, O and SM32, and two 00 gauge. Each track can be controlled inidividually on either DC or DCC track power, allowing maximum operational flexibility. The test track can be set up as a circle or an oval, depending on space requirements in the club room.
The other test track is Langley Bridge Junction. It was originally constructed to fit the space in our former club rooms and satisfy the needs of a multi-gauge test track. It consists of two loops of 00 gauge and a loop of N gauge. It also has the capability to have all loops operated on either DC and DCC track power seperately from one another.
This was once considered the club's junior layout, with the intention being to use it to practice skills such as track laying, ballasting and making scenery. However, it will be dismantled in the not-too-distant future once its replacement, Cardinal Ways, progresses to a stage at which trains can be run on all tracks.
