Description of Layout
The time is now. On the outskirts of North London in Enfield, not far from the East Coast Main Line, a few overgrown sidings remain in use
to stable overnight engineers trains and prepare others. Trainee drivers also use the area to hone their skills. There is a working aggregate
loading facility.
Details abound throughout. On the nearby streets there is a celebration of a Royal Wedding. The theme is shunting. Peco Finescale 00 gauge
track is used on this layout. It is a modern image circular layout, measuring 8ft x 5ft.
This layout replaces Ambridge, which during 2008 / 2009 visited 16 exhibitions.
Martin's Sidings attended its first exhibition at Needham Market in August 2011 and Sudbury in October 2011.
