Watlington (Buckinghamshire) has been modelled as a prototypical branch line terminus in OO gauge. The layout was originally built by Geoff Bell, but is now owned by Graeme Tyrer. You can read more about the branch and see Graeme's photos of Watlington anno 2004 in the GWR Features section.

All buildings on the layout are scratchbuilt, including the Station Building, Carriage Shed, Goods Shed, Water Tower, Coaling Stage and Plate Layers Hut.

The layout is built on 4 equally sized boards, of which 3 are scenic, and one is a 4 road fiddle yard. It has detachable screw-in legs (fully supporting & free standing). When erected, the layout stands 3’ high and is 15’ long and 2’ wide. For ease of transportation it packs neatly into a dexion frame on casters measuring approx W4’ x D2’ x H3’.

Electrically, the layout features a built-in Control Panel with Probe operated points, as well as a ‘wander lead’ controller, enabling front operation when desired.
