From the layout website;
Alderford is a fictional town somewhere in the North West of England served by a terminus station. The time is the mid / late 1980’s.
In this period BR was in the midst of an image change owing the introduction of sectorisation a few years earlier. This means that trains in various new sector liveries as well as BR Blue may be seen.
The layout has two double track main lines, which converge into a three-line approach to the station. One of the main lines is electrified.
The station has five platforms. Platform 5 at the back of the station doubles up as the parcels platform.
In the centre of the layout, behind the station approach lines, is a loco service and stabling point and an area to turn trip freight trains serving local industries.
The layout is DCC controlled with a number of locos fitted with sound, working multi aspect signalling and overhead wires which pantographs contact but are unpowered.

Hi! I absolutely loved seeing this layout up close and personal at Spalding. Trevor (my father-in-law) and I were so impressed I can barely hope to convey how much we enjoyed it. Quite apart from the wonderful and varied array of rolling stock on show, the track work looked superb, and there was just so much to see and admire from the sidings to the station, the signals to the catenary, and a little detail I particularly liked was the (sadly) boarded up signal box which was not only of a design I particularly liked (really reminded me of Hotchley Hill on GCR(N)!) but was so well situated and weathered that it was almost the elephant in the room! It was right there in front of you but equally sort of hidden in plain sight! 🤔
I suspect that wasn’t quite how deep the thought was in placing it there but it did tickle me that I was looking at the layout for a good few minutes before I even realised it was there! 🤣😂😅
I sincerely hope to see that layout again. I suspect so does Trevor! 😉👍🍀🍻
What an absolute joy! 3 things I love in the video - the layout has great power connectivity - no sad stuttering or stalling. It has OHLC where train pantographs actually seem to touch the wire. And thank you for some nice smooth steady camera work! I wish all youtube videos were as good as this one!
Thank you very much
Fabulous layout.
Great selection Of Rolling stock.
Plenty of action.
Thanks. Howard
Amazing layout, details are stunning, question, does the OHL work?
No it's unpowered but they consciously made an effort to make sure the pantographs are always touching the wire to give that impression
@@SHGPMedia still looks amazing with what they do,
Is there a video of
Alderford layout fiddle yard please ?
No I don't think so. Are you after something in particular about it?
Nothing in particular just wanted to see what went on with the layout completely
Ty
