Auch Ae is a 4mm scale Scottish Region locomotive shed
coded 68F
based in the 1960s. The layout is more or less complete
with just some of the finishing detail to add. All the
track work has been laid using Peco code 75 track and
wired for DCC operation. The points are controlled
using Cobalt iP Digital motors via a Cobalt Alpha
Central integrated 12-way digital switch unit Actual
train control is via an NCE controller. The buildings on
the layout are scratch built and are based on prototypes
in Scotland. The layout will be operated with a
mixture of steam and diesel locomotives with many
featuring working sound. The layout has been in making
for a number of years and is work of a small group of
Redditch Model Railway Club members. The layout has very
much been a product of cramming as much in a small area
to both give operational interest and allow the finished
product to be easily transported to exhibitions in a
small hatchback car. The layout was first shown at the
Redditch Model Railway Club Exhibition in 2019 in a very
much unfinished state. Much time has been spent since to
bring the layout up to a far more complete state.
