Description of Layout
Stanhem Quay was named in memory of Stan Hemmings, a former club member who sadly died in 2004. He served all his working life as a
coach builder at the Derby coach works and was a great friend and source of knowledge to the club.
Stanhem Quay is a fictitious location set on the river estuary of a typical East Anglian port. The railway has a passenger terminus,
which serves the local town and also a branch line that accesses the nearby quayside.
The quayside has a busy industrial influence, containing a small brewery that receives most of its grain by ship. The small fishing
fleet also depends on the railway for the transport of its catch. Also of interest is the circular fiddle yard to the rear, which
enables trains to turn around without uncoupling.
Photo Galleries
Although Stanhem Quay is still under construction it attended our annual exhibition in October 2011. Below are some photos of the layout
that were taken on the day.
