- St. Davids Wells -

An OO layout based on a market town in the Welsh Marches

St David's Wells is a traditional double-oval layout of approximately 15ft by 9ft with a large operating well in the centre. The far end of the layout is significantly wider and houses the locomotive servicing depot.

Notionally set in a sunny day during the mid-1930s, St David's has a general Great Western theme but is by no means exclusively so; other stock of the ‘Big Four' and post-nationalisation railways are often to be seen.

The track diagram is a double-oval, folded over on itself, and the main station is accessed via an incline with the lower tracks passing in a tunnel underneath. For a lot of the layout, four tracks are seen in close proximity, providing an illusion of greater scale.

The two platform station is on a curve with an additional single bay, adjacent to Station Road for shorter trains. The goods facilities consist of three sidings and a large goods shed. There are further sidings for a timber merchant and a feed store and large coach sidings behind. The locomotive servicing area has a turntable, a pair of double-road sheds and the usual other facilities. This area is currently under construction, as are sections of backscene.

Finally, raised and running around two sides is a branch line which will be serviced by either an auto-train or a railcar.
