In this video, I’m excited to share the track plan for my brand new ‘O’ gauge model railway layout! I’ll walk you through the design and explain the key elements I’ve included to capture the look and feel of a classic British steam shed scene.

The plan features: A fully working turntable, a massive coal plant, an ash plant for servicing…

I am really looking forward to the arrival of the ‘O’ gauge Pug locomotives from Ellis Clark Trains in 2026. The ‘OO’ gauge ones look good too.

The ‘O’ gauge version comes with ash pan glow and an ultra-realistic firebox flicker too, far better than any other produced before. Having been able to test the tooled sample myself, I can’t wait to…

I built this ‘O’ gauge diorama in April 2025 for Hornby Magazine and our ‘Key Model World Diorama Challenge’ video series (which you can watch on YouTube and keymodelworld.com) I used the large Scale Model Scenery baseboard and all the parts were mostly supplied by Ellis Clark Trains – apart from a few 3D printed items that I found on eBay…

Here is the track plan for my latest ‘O’ gauge layout that I have started to build called ‘NOTLOB’ (If you’re a Monty Python fan you’ll get the reference) I’ve decided to classify this MPD as 19K, as my Newton Grove layout is 19F.

You can watch the building of this layout on my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCU37npcFWXxkwsrXkKJ8lEQ

Duchess 46246 'City of Manchester' looks as majestic as ever as it slowly departs Newton Grove 19F. The locomotive is pride of the fleet, even if a little work stained, and looks fantastic in it's BR maroon livery.

Here is my latest video – the very beginnings of my new ‘O’ gauge layout, all based on Bolton 9K MPD.

Join me as I embark on the very start of my new ‘O’ gauge layout. In this new video I assemble the fantastic baseboards from Grainge & Hodder. The baseboards are easy to build and very rigid, no screwing or nails required at all! Just some glue…
