Welcome to Yvestown PDF Print E-mail

Welcome to Yvestown, Yvestown is a modern, town layout planned for 'N' Gauge using Peco Settrack.

The town contains a three platform station and an avoiding line for passing freight. There will also be a small preserved line which will operate in the back of the layout behind the town and will operate a shuttle service between two stations (currently not shown on trackplan).

Why Yvestown?

Yvestown is not intended to be a model railway with a town built around it, but more of a fictional town with a railway that runs through it. The name is derived from the name of my daughter Yvonne - its Yve's town - and so Yvestown it is.

5th September 2008 - All Change Please!!! Trackplan included PDF Print E-mail

TRACKPLAN INCLUDED. LASTEST STOCK NEWS.

The main board is now suspended from the ceiling to the relief of the whiff (Thanks Darren cos I knew I wouldn't be able to do it on my own Laughing) so I can crack on with this now the dark nights are drawing in. The dimensions of the main board are approx 90cmx180cm (3ftx6ft) but I have designed the trackwork to fit into 80cmx170cm to save me any trouble.

15th May 2008 - Baseboard PDF Print E-mail

Well, its started! I have now got the baseboard complete. I had a little problem with the front section of the board where the freight avoiding line is at a lower level which was drooping down at the front and needed more support, which has now been fixed. The legs are a little on the long side at the moment but, other than that, it is complete and I am ready to lay track.
