A slim 26ft. long layout slowly developing. Recent work has completed wiring and all track work is in place. The layout is fictious, but based on near reality. It is east central York. A branch of the NER came off of the Layerthorpe branch to serve an electricity works. This model represents an extension of this, past a wagon works and a foundry (which did exist, was not rail linked and was demolished when the Defra HQ at Peasholme Green was built) to terminate very close to the town centre with a small station and grain store. This is directly across the river from a truly rail served granary which is now the Rowntree wharf flats. The Derwent Valley Light Railway no longer terminates at Layerthorpe but comes right into town, and this would have given far better access to the shopping centre than ever actually existed in York. Layerthorpe goods was very large and, with the gas works, electricity works and DVLR handled a lot of different goods, including SMBP traffic etc. so the wagon works will permit a catholic selection of rolling stock to appear. The foundry will also permit Sand, Pig iron, Plate, mineral etc. wagons. Photographs at http://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/eborgrouprm
