Fitzwilliam Basin
Fitzwilliam Basin is a fictional 'O9' gauge ('O' gauge 7mm:1ft scale modelling using 'OO9' gauge track for the railway) layout inspired by buildings in and around Elsecar village in South Yorkshire during the 1930/40's.

Asenby St Peter
The layout is an O gauge model of a fictional branch line terminus in East Anglia, It is set in the 1930s and is operated with ex Great Eastern locos and stock Töllesbury in Essex was the inspiration for the terminus although an extra siding has been added, Apart from the station all the other buildings are freelance but hopefully capture the essence of the supposed location

Originally built by Jack Burnard in 1996. It was to represent Jack's first hand recollections of the mining industry in the 1950/60's.
It has lots of Jack's feature signatures from working coal loading conveyor, fully detailed and lit buildings to an internal narrow gauge mining railway.

Gowrie
A compact layout showing the advantages of hand built track and what can be achieved in such a small space.
