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.
