Gloucester Road
an N guage layout by Stephen Lawrence
Background
This is the second rendition of Gloucester Road. The first was a point to point layout and can be viewed at SimplyTrains.com. With the my son now more interested in trains we needed something he could watch, so a "tailchasing" track plan was developed, hence the web address. It is a play on word, n gauge (the scale of the layout), William (my son), ngauging ( or engaging keeping him busy!).
The new Gloucester Road began towards the end of 2003. Built in N guage it measures 6ft long and 2 ft wide; all track is Peco with isolating switches. Buildings are from Graham Farish, Hornby, Metcalf and Scalscenes.com with rolling stock from Farish, ATM, Peco, Minitrix, and N-Thusiast Resprays. Living in America one relies on pictures, trips to England and the internet to create my dipiction of England. For this reason there is no time period or place modeled, I have aimed for an overall feeling.
