Our main layout, Kinchley Lane, is loosely based upon a typical wayside station upon the Great Central Railway London Extension in Leicestershire.  The buildings are close portrayal of those at Quorn and Woodhouse on the Great Central heritage railway.  Construction of the layout is well advanced with all track laid, the illuminated control panel fully operational and the main scenic section nearing completion

The finescale layout provides facilities for the running and testing of DC and DCC models, with the substantial scenic section providing opportunities for realistic operation of the station and interest for visitors

We have a small exhibition layout which can be seen from time to time at various model railway exhibitions in the north of England

Visiting our Clubroom

Visitors are welcome to the Clubroom by prior arrangement.  As our Clubroom is in the undercroft of Carlisle Station, access is restricted.

It is necessary for us to escort visitors through the Station to the Clubroom.  Please contact David Gibson, the CDOGG Secretary, to inform us of your intended visit
