Welcome to Stonebridge Central. This is a 00 gauge modern railway layout. Liveries from pre-privatisation, BR Intercity livery, through to the present, new Virgin Trains livery, are represented.
The layout is part-ficticious based on a two track mainline providing services from New Marylebone Station, a super-hub mainline station, to all parts of England, Wales and Scotland. All TOC's are based on services found in the London area.
The layout is currently under construction. Regular photographs will show my progress. |
