This is the home layout belonging to club member Kevin Grace. This is his description:
“Aspens Junction is a ‘OO’ scale DCC controlled home based layout. It is set loosely in the late 1950’s in the Midlands and features mostly steam power with a few early diesels.
The layout is a double track top section with passing loops at Aspens Junction station. There is also a steam engine shed located at this station. Then a branch runs from Aspens Junction to the lower level station called Alfred Street where there is a goods depot.
The layout was started in 1994 after a Christmas gift of a ‘Mighty Mallard’ train set from my wife.
Stock is from all the major manufacturers, some having survived from my boyhood railway notably two car transporters and a Hornby footbridge now approximately 50 years old.
The layout has survived 3 room moves and 1 house move and is now in its 4th reincarnation!
Cameos on the layout include Uncle George’s Ford Anglia (parked outside the pub), my sister-in-law’s dogs, our pet rabbits and a small herd of Boxmoor’s most famous Belted Galloway cows!”
