All four of our current layouts were wired up for analogue 12 volt DC working. Gibben Quarry has been modified so that a digital DCC controller can be fitted in place of the 12 volt analogue controller. We are modifying both Tipton Hills and Whartson Hall to be dual operated in a similar way. The club is sourcing a basic DCC controller for members to use.
Waterstock
​Waterstock is an amalgam of Hatton Junction and Yeovil Pen Mill. In this instance Hatton has been moved southwards to rest between Oxford (Tiddington) and Thame and became part of the GWR/GCR joint improvement /expansion of 1897. The layout is placed in the 1950's/early 60's period allowing for both steam and early diesel traction to be used, along with a degree of inter-regional traffic
Gibben

Minchin Vale
Minchin Vale, an 009 layout donated by club member Tony Minchin and currently undergoing restoration. It is in the form of a folded figure of eight with a pair of storage sidings at the rear and a small station at the front.
