+ | ==== Van Rides Demonstration N Gauge Layout ==== | ||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | This compact demonstration layout is another of our members personal projects. It was inspired by the operation of the Severn Valley Railway at Highley Station during the 2018 Spring Gala.\\ | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | The operation is fully automatic and is controlled by a variety of kits from the MERG Pocket Money Project range.\\ | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | The layout was originally built in response to the 2mm Fine Scale Association' | ||
+ | build a working layout with at least one turnout to the Association’s fine scale track and wheel standards within a | ||
+ | scenic area 60cm long by 9.42 inches wide – a combination of standards to justify 60 for the number of years of | ||
+ | existence and 9.42, for the number of mm of the standard track gauge. | ||
