Great news for 2026 is that work is well under way for a New ‘Large’ Burton Crumpnold Layout.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During 2025 the loft has been converted to a railway room. This gives me something in the order of 5m x 3m ( 18ft x 9ft).
Here is a photograph of the space and the mostly completed baseboards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The current plan is for a large ‘Art Deco Station on a two track mainline. In addition a branch line climbs out of the station up to, on the other side of the room, a small branch line station. This small station drops back down around the room to meet at the main station. A bronch from the small station also decendes to a very small seaside terminus station. Hopefully illustrated here – <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the next few days I will be updating the website to show what has been going on…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will replace the original ‘Burton Crumpnold’ 8x4ft ‘OO’ gauge layout…<\/em><\/strong> and its successor Burton Peonix (See Below)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Burton Crumpnold will be a permanant layout – I am left with my ‘N’ Gauge ones should I wish to do any exibiting…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Stowey Green<\/strong>‘ – a is small ‘N’ gauge GWR layout..
Initially started as a project to do while the original ‘Burton Crumpnold’ layout was in pieces,
and finally completed as a ‘LockDown’ project in 2021
\"\"\"\"<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
.. As it turned out I had a few bits and pieces (Mostly involving station and platform parts)..
So under construction is an even smaller ‘N’ Gauge Layout called ‘Stowey Town’….<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Rest In Pieces …….

As indicated above 2025 was the last year for ‘Burton Phoenix<\/strong>‘ – an end to end layout that was born out of the ashes of the original ‘Burton Crumpnold’..<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A lot of the scenery is likely to appear in some part in the NEW Burton Crumpnold
