Knightwood Junction

25ft x 10ft, OO Gauge.

Knightwood Junction is located in the South Midlands during the period 1950-1960, is a secondary main line, and acts as a diversion to the west coast main line when engineering work causes problems. Although mainly featuring Midland region stock other regions also have running powers over the line. Situated some miles from a main city station this country junction has a bay for the Knightwood branch, an interchange yard for sorting wagons and serving local industries, such as the Gut Rot Brewery, and a small engineering works.

The main line has passing loops in both directions, with both a parcels depot and agricultural store featured. The branch climbs over a girder bridge to reach the village of Knightwood, this has a small yard, engine shed and private sidings serving a pump house with fuel oil. In the two back corners of the layout there are a canal basin with its associated sidings, and a cricket pitch. Why not check how the local team score is progressing during the day?

The layout is fully signalled with Ratio upper quadrant signals, and several locos have been detailed or altered to types not usually seen, some are kit built.
