BOAB’S BRAE

THE SCENE

An entirely fictitious “OO” layout, Boab’s Brae has to be seen to be believed. Two single tracks cross each other twice, once by bridge, and once on the level, the track plan being basically an inverted figure of eight.

CARLUKE

View of Station on Carluke

THE SCENE

Carluke is an “N” gauge layout depicting a section of the West Coast Main Line as it sweeps through our local station circa 1960. The track plan is based on the 1912 rebuild of the station and all bridges, buildings, trees etc, have been scratch built.

CARLYBURN

Carlyburn station throat

THE SCENE

Carlyburn is an ‘OO’ gauge fictitious layout representing a fairly large terminal station on a short branch line providing passenger and freight services to destinations on either side of it, by means of a double track triangle.

MACHAN

THE SCENE

Machan is a ‘OO’ gauge fictitious layout representing the end of a freight only branch line. This was in response to club members’ suggestions that all our layouts to date had had passenger trains and facilities predominating.

MACHANHILL

Machanhill Station

THE SCENE

Machanhill is an ‘OO’ gauge fictitious layout representing the termination of passenger services on what is predominately a freight only branch line. The station is named Machanhill, the freight terminus Machan and the motive power depot Millheugh .

MILLHEUGH

THE SCENE

Millheugh is a ‘OO’ gauge fictitious layout representing the motive power depot for Machan and Machanhill . This was in response to club members’ request to unify the two, thus enabling the trio to form a standalone layout.

NAIRDRIE

Main station at Nairdrey

THE SCENE

Nairdrie, as its name suggests, was inspired by, and based on, the layout of the former Caledonian Railway’s station at Airdrie. This was the station at the Eastern extremity of the suburban route from Glasgow Central Low Level and is not to be confused with the former North British Railway’s station which is still in use, served by electric trains from Glasgow Queen Street Station Low Level. The station lost its passenger service in 1943, and latterly, the site has been occupied by a supermarket and bus station.
