Mortimer's Cross

A OO layout based on a tramway in the Welsh Marshes

This member's home layout is packed out with detail and interest.


This layout is only 42" x 22" but provides us with lots of interest and shows that even a small layout can be packed with detail and have many operating possibilities. Mortimer's Cross is a roadside tramway based in the Welsh Marshes to connect small villages.

And the gauge? The rolling stock is OO running on 9mm track (with wide sleepers) which makes it technically narrow gauge OO The fiddle yard uses N gauge track.


Another photo of Mortimer's cross showing the high level of detail in this idyllic rural scene. Scruffy shed, lighting on the tiny platform, men chatting and nicely painted stonework all contribute to a fine layout.
