Tony Ford's first attempt at Yatton was built
in the 1960's, appearing in Railway Modeller in 1965. The layout
was subsequently taken on by the now defunct Bristol 4mm Group,
and toured the exhibition circuit in the late 1960's/early 1970's.
The first Yatton layout was subsequently
sold on, eventually taken over by Tom McKee. You can see Tom McKee's
refurbished version of the first Yatton here.
Tony Ford later decided to make another Yatton
in his loft, which did away with some of the compromises of the
original layout. The pictures shown on the following pages depict
this second version.
Many thanks to Trevor Pott for the photos
and the above background information.
