Over the years the Market Deeping Model Railway Club and its members have produced a huge variety of model railway layouts in many scales. Here is a description of some of them: as time goes by we hope to list all the current layouts here, and some of the more interesting ones which are no longer with us.
Amberdale
Originally built as a project for British Railway modelling, this fine-scale 00 Gauge model railway depicts a typical, but fictitious, Derbyshire village station on a single-track secondary route which sees a wide variety of passenger and freight workings in the 1960s, with both steam and diesel traction. There are many scenic cameos to hold the viewer’s attention between trains!
Woodcroft
Built by late member David Smith, Woodcroft has been in the care of the club for several years and was a survivor of the vandalism to our 2019 Stamford Model Railway Show. It is in EM Gauge and features hand-built locomotives and rolling stock from the pre-grouping era. It is a fictitious single-track station in the Peterborough area and includes a small brickworks typical of the area as well as general goods yard and a small passenger station in the Great Northern style. Full of character and nicely modelled, this layout has been popular at exhibition but is now past its best and is unfortunately unlikely to be shown again.
