Roy Roberts'
Addington Heights Light Railway
Established in 1984 the
railway started from an LGB train set and some extra track to
make a small oval around the garden pond. Over the years
the layout of the railway has been altered many times and at
present the layout is L shape and is double track with sidings.
The layout runs to and from a large shed where the controls for
the railway are kept and also the storage sidings where trains
can be made up. Further extensions are to be made to the
railway later this year and more storage sidings are to be built
in the shed.
Track and Controls All the track and points are LGB.
All the points are motorized and controlled from the shed.
The transformers and points controls are all LGB.
Locomotives There are twenty locomotives on the
railway which all run on electric from the transformers.
98% are made by LGB.
Passenger Coaches There are twenty four coaches, made
up of different sizes and railway company’s.
Goods Wagons There are over forty goods wagons and
the main wagons are four wheeled tankers which make for over
50%.
Buildings The buildings are Piko, some are concrete
and some are scratch built. |
