Taken in the dying moments of a well
known layout first exhibited in 1989, this is Mike Fowler and
one of
his sons
at Sandy this year about to send the last train from Binns Road. After 18 years
Mike’s layout and collection hits the buffers and will be sold.
The layout started as a pure Hornby Dublo 2 rail hence the name ‘Binns Road’ but
later as Tri-ang made a real impact and then Trix and Graham Farish it became
more a “Layout of the Sixties” reflecting what you could have built in about
1964/5.
The last train was a Trix Scotsman
pulling Hornby Dublo and Graham Farish Pullmans plus a Tri-ang Hornby converter
wagon….so the spirit of the layout was maintained to the end”
