Buxton (N)

2mm/N Gauge
Presented David Tuck

My layout is loosely based on Buxton station and yard in Derbyshire around the 1970/80s.  The track is built to 2mm finescale and stock is a mixture of modified ready-to-run, kit-built and scratch-built.  The two-track passenger line to Manchester is serviced by DMUs with the odd merrymaker tour and parcels train.  One freight-only branch line is from Peak Forest and the Hope Valley whilst the other spur goes towards Hindlow quarry.  Locomotives from the stone trains are serviced at the depot between duties.  The wagons and locos used are as close as possible to those found around the Peak District at that time.
