Bough Beech

Voted best in show at the O Gauge Guild Convention Telford 2002

Bough Beech is an “O” gauge Modern Image fictional layout. Loosely based on a branch off the Redhill to Tonbridge line (non electrified) on the Southern region. The layout comprises a two-platform terminus station, two engineers’ yards, and a small traction maintenance depot.

The era the layout is based is mid 1990s to present day. I have about thirty locomotives; so far twenty are built, and over fifty wagons. Locos liveries include EWS, Mainline, Transrail, Loadhaul, DRS, GBRf,  Freightliner and Fragonset.

There is also a Balfour Beatty liveried Tamper, Railtrack MPV and a Thames Turbo on the passenger side.

The layout measured 34foot x 2foot 6inches, with the whole 34foot scenic (the fiddle yard runs behind one of the engineers yards).

The layout also has working colour light signals, platform lights and yard lights.

The layout was sold in 2008 to make way for Leavesden
