Marston Parkway is the name of my "OO" Gauge layout, depicting elements of the UK Great Western Main Line. Hopefully over the next few months as it takes shape, I will be able to provide some inspiration to modellers starting out in building their own layout.

In tandem with creating the layout, I spend a lot of time detailing and customising the stock I intend to run on it, all I need now is a layout to run them on!

My Aims

I am aiming to build a layout which uses DCC and computer control. The location is an imaginary junction between Didcot and Swindon where First Great Western, Thames, Virgin, Charter, freight and local services pass through. It will be based in the period 1998-2008, allowing an elastic time frame with differing period stock.

DCC & Computer Control

My Work Bench

So far I have had plenty of practice bashing mostly off the shelf ready to run products, upgrading, detailing and weathering them. I also have a sideline in applying the very latest liveries and logos.
