Where Worlds Collide

Apethorn Junction

I’ve uploaded a few photos I took of Apethorn Junction at the Macclesfield show to my Fotopic site.

This has got to be one of the best 7mm scale layouts I’ve seen on the exhibition circuit. It’s sheer size makes a big impression, and the whole thing just oozes atmosphere. It’s all DCC with sound chips on most if not all the locomotives, so the layout reverberates with the throaty roar of English Electric and Sulzer engines.
