Tracebridge

7mm Narrow gauge model
Tracebridge is the latest model from Graham Bentley. It is in 7mm scale running on 00 narrow gauge track and is a mere 4ft by 18 inches in size. As yet it needs a small fiddle yard to be added so that it is more versatile at exhibitions but it does demonstrate just what can be done in a minimum space.

The model being set up at Heywood Civic Centre which was its first puplic showing. The event was the Christmas lights switch on where the Group had been asked if we could fill one of the rooms with model railways.
Graham was kind enough to offer his new model and he can just be seen behind it during the setting up.

The left hand end of the model can now be seen with the small loco shed and the track under the bridge that will ultimately lead to a small fiddle yard.

Looking at the underneath of the layout showing simple but tidy wiring. Note how the track is copied to the underside to help when tracing any wiring faults should they occur.
