Gailston - a little mentioned layout of mine!

I talk a lot about several model railway layouts of mine, My Last Great Project in 00 gauge, Chalkdon in 009 gauge and the USA Switching layout in H0 scale which ahs yet to be named. There are however other layouts which hardly or have never featured on this blog. One which has had mention but not a great deal, is Gailston, my 00 gauge terminus to fiddle yard layout. As with most of my projects, it is yet to be finished despite being started nearly 25 years ago but it does work and I do enjoy running passenger and freight trains in and out of the station with some shunting and run rounds being part of the process - very therapeutic especially when the Man Cave is cold!

Gailston

It is 9 feet long which is the scenic part.

And another seven feet long at right angles to the scenic board and this is a five road fiddle yard.

I will come back to looking at Gailston in a bit more detail in future posts but here area few closer up images.
