Invergeachy


Layout information

Invergeachy was originally eighteen foot long and twenty eight  inches wide and was permanently set up in my lounge. After receiving invites to  local exhibitions I realised an extension was needed if it were to continue on  the exhibition circuit. Invergeachy has now grown into the thirty four foot  layout that we exhibit today.

Invergeachy features a small town station  reprieved from near closure by Transport for Scotland with a former Transrail  enterprise depot for added interest. A regular DMU service runs from Invergeachy  to Glenfoy which is located at the opposite end of the layout. Invergeachy  encompasses the changeover from the former Transrail Freight unit to EWS  ownership and the eventual handover of the Scotrail National Express Franchise  to First Scotrail, taking the theme forward into the present Century.

There  is a large selection of stock running on Invergeachy which includes a regular  mail train and enterprise service, oil, timber, cement and various engineers'  trains are also included. A portion of the Fort William sleeper service calls at Invergeachy along with an excursion train and the EWS executive train. Loco classes represented are 08, 37, 47, 56, 60,66 and class 67. DMU classes are 
150/2,156,158 and 170/4. It has taken over six years for Invergeachy to  reach the current stage. The original Layout was built by my good friend Graham  Shriever while I concentrated on Ballasting and Scenery.

Recent changes to Invergeachy have seen an extension to the fiddle yard, as this was needed to accommodate the increasing amount of new locos, units and rolling stock that  have been added over the last couple of years. This has given three extra roads 
which are over twelve foot long and help make the operation flow smoother at exhibitions. I have also gone over to Digital command Control (DCC). This gives a more authentic and realistic feel to Invergeachy, bringing to life all those essential railway sounds that were originally missing.

Invergeachy is available for exhibitions and I welcome enquiries from exhibition managers who may be interested in having Invergeachy attend their exhibition. We are based in South East London and are happy to travel UK wide to promote contemporary modelling and hopefully inspire would be modellers to have a go for  themselves. After all it's all about sharing and promoting the hobby.
