History
Paul's layout, St Michaels Goods Depot, was built purely becuase he enjoys shunting. The layout is 8ft long altogether; 5ft scenic section with a 3ft fiddle yard attached at one end to accomodate a large selection of wagons. The layout was first exhibited at Ormesby Hall when it was in its early stages and was the subject of a naming competition, The following year it was exhibited again, in the condition which the photographs below show. Paul says that the layout is still not complete, but when is a layout ever completly finished?
