Welcome to the
Modern Traction
Group’s layout
Banks Road
The MMRS Modern
Traction Groups layout is
'OO' gauge and is based on a fictitious small terminus station
called 'Banks road' (named after the group
member, Ron Banks, who sadly passed
away).....It's being built on baseboards that
were used in previous club layouts and the group have
attempted to salvage as much as they could
from the old layout
the were building in out old (larger) clubhouse.
They layout will
run British Modern traction:
This includes diesels from the Green days right up to the
latest EWS/ DRS etc traction. DMU's will
also be used along with some freight.
The layout will be run end to end
and will include a DMU maintenance area, a Traction
Maintenance Depot, a number of sidings/carriage/wagons and a
possible Cement works.
The layout will be controlled by DCC. The
track has also changed from Peco Code 100 to code 75.
Electrofrog turnouts are being used to maximise smooth
running.
There only a few members currently
in the group so if anybody wishes to contribute or just come down
and have a NOSE they are most welcome!
