Model Railway Layout “New Bryford” in OO Gauge by Mick Bryan and Peter Taylor

Published on March 10, 2019

The model railway layout, which is called “New Bryford”, had previously been exhibited in the late 1990’s and after a change of ownership it has returned to the original model builder. The layout, built in OO gauge or 4 mm scale, has been extensively refurbished including a new, deeper backscene and conversion to Digital Command Control (DCC) operation via a Lenz 100 system. Peco Code 75 track is used in the scenic section and Peco Code 100 in the storage yards. Switches or points are equipped with Peco point motors - all have been fitted with extra switches to improve electrical reliability.

The model railroad portrays the railway scene within the Manchester, Wigan and Bolton area in Great Britain. Passenger traffic, for example, is varied from Northern Rail diesel multiple units (DMU) to Voyagers on Anglo-Scottish duty and occasional Pendolino trains. Freight traffic is equally varied, for example, there are DB Schenker, Freightliner, Direct Rail Services and Colas Rail all having regular workings through New Bryford. The DCC system enables to control each item individually including lights and sound.

Much of the rolling stock was modified, repainted and renumbered by Mick Bryan and Peter Taylor. Normally, ready-to-run items from all the major manufacturers are in use. But there are a few kit and scratchbuilt items to add further variety.
