Gorcott

Every show has to have a tail chaser of generous proportions and Gorcott certainly fits the bill. Located on the Settle and Carlisle line in that twilight period before the route lost its named express services and much of its through traffic Gorcott is imaginary, but reflects the style of architecture and landscape to be found in the area. Built to 4 mm scale, this Redditch MRC layout uses 00 track and has scenery on three of its four sides. It was featured in the February 2005 Trains On-line magazine

An express hauled by a Britannia Class pacific gets a clear road as it passes the goods yard and makes it way towards Gorcott station. Note the telegraph poles, often absent on models, and the detail work around the goods shed.

This layout features many extremely detailed areas. Note the way in which the back scene and garden are almost seamlessly merged, the handmade flowers in the neat garden and the hedges.

Peak Class D193 is held in Gorcott station by an adverse signal. The detailing on the locomotive (it even has a crew) is worthy of note in this view.
