So far I have built S Scale layouts based on the pre 1923 Midland Railway, British Railways London Midland Region in the 1950s/60s and a German Deutsche Bundesbahn 1970s era layout. They have all been built in a room about 11 feet by 8 feet and on two levels.

I’ve constructed this website mainly for my own record of what I’ve done and therefore it hasn't always been possible to present it in a completely logical time sequence. The best way to read the website is to look at the Halifax Midland layout page first as that shows its development in chronological order.

The next bit to read is about building the Pendle Midland layout.

The best way to understand what I’ve done for German modelling is simply to work your way through the separate German section.

I also built another layout which I abandoned because I had developed nerve damage.  I’ve left this description on the website as a reminder of what might have been!

All the other sections on the British S Scale pages are completely self contained and can be read in any order.
