Gleisplan-Datenbank

Vorweg: Spur N ist nicht ganz korrekt – es handelt sich um ein Modell der englische 2 mm Scale Association. Das sind Finescale-Anlagen im Maßstab ca. 1:152 auf 9,42-mm-Gleis. Um sich von der Planung inspirieren zu lassen, ist das aber eher nebensächlich.

Die Anlage zeigt einen Teilungsbahnhof in Südengland ca. 1995. Alle Gleise sind Eigenbau! Auf der Website sind viele sehr schöne Fotos!

Beschreibung auf der 2 mm Scale Association Website:

"Welton Down is assumed to be on a secondary main line from London to the South Coast in the Downs on the Kent/Sussex border, although its creator, Bill Rankin, had based it on the LC&D main line near Sole Street in Kent. A non-electrified branch leads off to the nearby large country town of Welton and the goods yard has been taken over by the Civil Engineers.

The period modelled is around 1995, at the end of the Network SouthEast era. This allows for most D&E era stock (plus the occasional visiting steam charter), with the NSE livery predominant. There is a healthy flow of freight in between the frequent EMU service whilst a variety of DMUs/DEMUs run the branch service.
All trackwork, to 9.42mm gauge, is handbuilt, using rail and PCB sleepers and turnouts are operated by HM& solenoids. Most buildings have been scratchbuilt. The original 2 x 8 road fiddle yard has been replaced with a cassette system, to enable longer trains to be handled and to facilitate a quicker setting up and breaking down at exhibitions. At present, most of the locomotives and stock are Graham Farish and Dapol items, detailed and converted with finescale wheels, but a large programme of kit building is underway!"
