Blowers Green Wagon Repair Yard O Gauge Exhibition Layout

Описание: In this video we have some beautiful footage of Blowers Green Wagon Repair Yard O Gauge.

Welcome to Blowers Green, a slice of the West Midlands just a stone's throw from Dudley. Situated on a secondary main line, a wagon repair yard is the main feature of the layout where a variety of rolling stock can be seen undergoing maintenance. here BRCW type 3 number 6518 (Heljan) keeps BR Swindon built 03382 (DJH kit) company in the reception road head shunt.

The yard is based on a former wagon repair depot which was located in Birmingham, set in the BR blue period covering 1968 to the 1980s and designed to show that a medium sized 7mm finescale layout can be a little more than just a shunting plank. Occupying the repair roads are a selection of Tippler, Mineral and Open wagons awaiting attention.

The operation of the layout involves passing suburban and short freight formations, as well as trip workings with crippled or repaired rolling stock. Not often modelled, are these concrete stop blocks at the end of repair roads number 1 & 2.

Very much a 'might have been' layout, the wagon repair yard is situated on the now mothballed line between Stourbridge junction and Wolverhampton, just south of Dudley Tunnel on the site of the former Blowers Green Station near Netherwood Junction. Showing a view across the yard, the toilet block and stores building removed to show off the portable cabins and wheelsets.

Based on a smaller version of the station building at Tyseley, it's located on the road overbridge providing a convenient scenic break. The plans for the station building were produced as a CAD file and sent to York Modelmaking for laser cutting.

At the other end of the layout above the tunnel is this car dealership constructed from a Kingsway Models card kit, which comes with plenty of alternative signs and components to make it your own.

Welcome, I’m a modeller/collector in the process of building a 8’x4’ OO gauge layout based on British Rails 1980's railway to the present day depending on what rolling stock I wish to run. The layout has been split into two sides. One side has a Locomotive depot called March West Junction TMD & on the other side I have a small town that is served by a small station called March West Junction. The station has two main platforms and one terminus platform. At the signal box end of the station I have created an old disconnected branch line junction that is in the process in the model world of being reinstated to connect to the next town down the line named Trecwn Valley, this is another layout I'm modelling on this channel but this time in OO/OO9. I will be uploading videos on both projects on this channel so please pop back regularly, or you could subscribe (it's FREE) & you will automatically be notified on future videos on both projects.
