Bromsgrove Society of Model Engineers |
| The society has the following tracks at its site 2 ½", 3 ½" and 5" Raised track. The
original track built in the early 1980's and extended around the turn
of the century. The extension brought the length up to something like
1260 feet. The track forms a waisted loop with ruling gradients of
1:100 up and 1:80 down. When running more than one train on the track,
we have the facility to fully signal the whole circuit. A plan of the raised track can be seen here.
16mm Garden Railway. This track has undergone a number of changes over the years since it was opened in 1992. Initially laid as a single circuit with a small terminus station, it was later extended into a dogbone shape with return loops at each end. A recent addition has been the provision of new steaming bays and marshalling yard which, taking advantage of the general slope of the site, are at a more comfortable height for working. The track is substantially level. Gauge 1 Track. The most recent of our tracks. The track has three loops for continuous running, with a large steam up and marshalling area. Although predominantly used for 10mm scale standard gauge stock, it has hosted other scales running on 45mm track from time to time. Again this track is substantially level.
