Here are some not very good scans from not very good prints.........
The layout name board http://www.andersleymodelrail.co.uk/forums/semange1.jpg The layout was in effect, two layouts. The electrified main lines were at a lower level and not connected to the upper level which was a diesel worked line to an industrial area. The freight line crossed over the main lines on a girder bridge. http://www.andersleymodelrail.co.uk/.../semange13.jpg A class 18 on a Eurocity service passes some of the scratchbuilt signals. http://www.andersleymodelrail.co.uk/.../semange52.jpg |
One of the main activities was the stone loading operation. 12 wagon trains of empty hoppers arrived and the loco moved to a headshunt. Then the class 80 shunter took 4 wagons at a time to the loader, which was scratchbuilt in brass, and had an internal conveyor belt to deliver stone to the wagons.
Here, empty hoppers are arriving behins a class 60. http://www.andersleymodelrail.co.uk/.../semange31.jpg Here the shunter positions the wagons for loading. The stone can be seen falling into the hopper. http://www.andersleymodelrail.co.uk/.../semange54.jpg http://www.andersleymodelrail.co.uk/.../semange53.jpg The loaded train departing behind a class 59 http://www.andersleymodelrail.co.uk/.../semange19.jpg |
Another industry was a woodworking plant which produced pallets, roof trusses, etc.

The three-bay blue building seen in photographs was a metal fabrications company. This allowed raw materials to be brought in and finished products taken out.
Also there was a Cement Plant. This was discharged into lorries for local delivery. http://www.andersleymodelrail.co.uk/.../semange33.jpg A large storage and distribution depot provided more rail activity. http://www.andersleymodelrail.co.uk/.../semange44.jpg http://www.andersleymodelrail.co.uk/.../semange57.jpg |
