The Oval
John H Ferrier, 4mm Scale/OO gauge, Hornby-Dublo 3-Rail.


Picture
Taking its name from its general shape and John’s interest in cricket, this layout must be the dream of many children growing up in the 1940s/50s/60s, and modern youngsters who can visualise it in their bedrooms.  

Stocked mainly with the popular output from the Meccano factory where production ceased in 1964, this 3 rail Hornby Dublo table top layout features 18 all electric points, and 22 semaphore and colour light signals, controlling the  main  line and yard exits.

Compacted on a single baseboard measuring 5’9” x 3’2” there is a peripheral main line encompassing numerous sidings and loco storage roads, the whole being divided into 30 electrical sections to maximise operating flexibility.

Please ask if you wish to see a train of your choice run.
