Launcestow model railway

Launcestow is my model railway, nowhere near complete, it sits on a 6x4 baseboard in my conservatory built using Peco Code 75 Finescale track, is DCC controlled using a Hornby Elite controller.

The layout is based on a fictional village that would be in North Cornwall, the name is a combination of Launceston and Padstow, the fictional village would have been located near Delabole, it is set as being on the North Cornwall line as if it hadn't closed in 1966 (like the real thing), using artistic licence the line would have been an extension of the Network Southeast area on the West of England line.

The Village has some real characters! PC Spearfish is the local Bobby, assisted by WPC Doris Mansell, Taylor Sampson is a local jack of all trades - master of none, Simon Rowntree is the Landlord of the Local pub the "Rowntree Arms".

Follow my Facebook page for the regular shenanigans of the antics that the locals get up to.

The layout is being built in a way that I can operate it in any era from the 1960's to the late 1980's.
