Hillside Exchange 
Dave Griffin P4/OO9 gauge 4mm scale
This is a new layout created during the last lockdown intended to fulfil outstanding commitments to some local charitable Exhibitions. The layout is a purely fictional representation of a passenger exchange between “Standard” and “Narrow gauge” trains on a preserved railway, located in mid Wales
A second standard gauge line is constructed independent of the preserved line, and designed to represent the present day operational railway.
This is operated by my own design of a simple shuttle controller, and provides essential continuous movement on the layout. The Standard Gauge track is built to P4 18.83 standards using largely ply and rivet techniques to paper templates, while the Narrow Gauge section uses Peco 009 with small radius point-work. All are electronically operated with a Capacitor Discharge unit with switch control by means of a control panel mounted on the main baseboard.
