4mm/EM Gauge
Presented by Stu Davies
Sheepcroft is an example of what can be done with limited space and resources as well as being a first attempt at building an EM layout. Whilst the plain track is by C+L the points are hand-built using bullhead rail and copper-clad sleepers using templates created with Templot. Point operation is by wire rod operated by a microswitch which also controls frog polarity, control is DCC with a ROCO Mulitmaus the primary controller.
The layout doesn’t require much stock, a mixture of RTR and kit-built, and can be happily operated with a loco, brake van and a handful of wagons. Motive power is diesel as they are an easy first conversion to EM.
A freight only line it is set in the south west in the late 60’s and early 70’s and is very loosely based on a real location.
Any questions please feel free to ask.
