Modelling

Although the Kinchley Lane layout represents a scene that would be typical of the early 1960s, a wide variety of rolling stock representing different periods from Victorian to the present day can be seen, ranging from scratch built to 'ready to run'.  All the rolling stock belongs to the members, and it is Club policy to accept all models that members and visitors wish to run upon the layout, irrespective of railway company or period.

The scenery is hand built.  The buildings are mainly based upon, or scale models of actual buildings on the Great Central Railway.  A few kit parts have been incorporated in the buildings for detailing and ease of construction
