Work started in 2022 on a new OO Gauge layout for the Society to enjoy full DDC capability and to operate trains using iPhones and Tablets. Design work of the layout was undertaken using AnyRail software and a suitable layout was agreed by club members. The aim of this layout is to ultimately link up with the existing Salterton layout creating interesting Terminus to Terminus operation.
Terminus
Work has progressed through the complicated baseboard construction (O and OO baseboards). Track and installing point motors, wiring of bus wires and droppers continue. As of February 2025, track laying and wiring is complete and we are now in the process of learning the control system.
