Introducing Keith, a well known Trix Twin
collector and enthusiast for many years. Recently he moved to a new house and is now
constructing a layout measuring 7
feet by 9 feet. The layout uses fibre
based track with universal points.
The track has been ballasted to give a realistic appearance. |
|
The view alongside shows an overview. The
layout has a double continuous loop, reversing on itself in a dog bone shape
to give as long a run as possible. Each loop can have two trains at once in
either traditional TTR AC or latter DC mode. The bottom left part of the layout lifts up to
allow access to the centre. A view on the left side |

This picture shows another view of the fair
and the small childrens’ railway running round the outside of the fairground. At the back a TTR Meteor speeds round the
reversing loop. |
A feature of the layout is a very detailed
operating fun fair. The big wheel,
the swings and the carousel all work. A small children’s train loops round
the fair. Keith has wired up a recorder to play
fairground music
