Customer Layouts

Are you particularly proud of your layout handiwork?! We would love to see your layout and even showcase it here for all to see and admire! If your photo happens to include a KMRC Exclusive - well we won't be complaining! Please send photos into sales@kernowmodelrailcentre.com and pop in the subject line 'FAO Hayley Newsletter'.

Keep an eye out on new layouts appearing weekly! Please note that it's me, Hayley, so don't expect any 'professional' opinions :)

It's a dirty job on Mr Calverley's layout, but somebody's got to do it!:

We have a team effort this week! These photos are of the layout Mr Hurst built with Mr Green. Mr Green has recently purchased a KMRC GWR Steam Railmotor, so Mr Hurst gave it a run on their Wadebridge and Bodmin North layout!:

"The newly built Steam Railmotor arrives at Shillingston Parva and a workman in the doorway of the Goods Shed is wondering just how long will that white roof, stay white?" Thank you Mr Grant for a photo of your outdoor imaginary bucolic terminus!:

Mr Storey, in France, has let us know that... "This railmotor has just entered the station at Much Piddling, on the branch from Iwerne Minster, where the Southern also has a goods line and a narrow gauge line remarkably similar to the L&B. Ah, fantasy is everything in modelling!":

Mr Gunstone has shared images of his latest layout! In his words, "in the 'Sheep Chronicles'... Ewe. Inspired by the Wisbech and Upwell Tramway, as it was in the early 1950s. It features three of Model Rails J70 Tram locos. Weathering by yours truly!":

Mr Willetts has sent in his new layout! It is a work in progress - a back water mineral line on Ynys Môn. In his words, "This is the main station and workshops at 'Llanble' (Village where). Still working on a better name for it! May go for a longer name than 'Llanfair PG.!'. Looks great Mr Willetts.

Mr Turton has been working on his layout the last few weeks, updating a number of bridges and tunnel mouths on the layout 'Yeovil Central'. He says, "It shows Hendford Road bridge, with 3D printer bridge spans suitably weathered. The second image shows the revamped 'Bank' tunnel entrance."

This is Mr Squirrell's small twin-gauge layout “Porthgarrow”. It features a small branch line terminus in OO, and a OO-9 gauge industrial line bringing crushed rock from quarry to quayside. The location is north Cornwall and the time period is mid to late 1960s. 'Porthgarrow' has been exhibited at Twickenham & District MRC, and is scheduled to appear at Hayle Railway Modellers event in November!

Mr James let us know where your Kernow Van has been getting... out and about in some of his diorama's! Getting off the Appeara Ferry, waiting for the pub to open at The Gate Inn, stuck behind sheep at Peeksan Troughs, in the snow at Gumcatchalp, and passing the pub at the village of Ytsyorownd. Brilliant!:

Our very own (well we claim him as our very own!) Simon Paley won the Best in Show for his layout at the Basingstoke Exhibition! Thank you Daniel Smart for taking the photos :)

Simon Paley

Mr Ford, from Suffolk, has sent in his fictitious Gosport Road layout that has seen some improvements. In his words, "The storage sidings now form part of layout, so a small maintenance depot provides a resting place for my original Kernow thumper unit and a 2HAL unit between duties. A footbridge has been added linking Alverstoke halt with the road bridge over the loco depot. Town scenes and street scenes have also been added. The shed scene shows a B4 on pilot duties, the 28xx arrived on the Banbury goods, and as for the B1 61008 "KUDU" must have come in on a troop train." Definitely worth your efforts!:

Mr Davies has sent in photos of one of the wonderful layouts at his club, Blyth & Tyne Model Railway Society! He says 'Roundtrees Sidings is based in the mid 1980s on Tyneside; featuring the unique Tyne & Wear Metro light Rail trains and BR Freight that ran along the same tracks at that time. It is built to EM Gauge and is DCC controlled':

Mr Creasey has sent in a photo of our LSWR Road Van on his micro layout, which Chris Nevard made in 2017! What a beauty:

Mr Ruming's layout is based on the Miami Down Town Line. In his words, "You could say the layout has been trashed!". That detail is spectacular!:

Mr Lynn has treated us with a few photos of his layout! In his words, 'The one with the LSWR signal box is of a Kernow exclusive for Bude signal box, although mine is renamed to my fictional Newton Broadway and has an interior fitted. The large hotel in the village was scratchbuilt from cereal packet card by a person unknown – I simply bought it at a swap meet and redid the roofs. You may recognise another Kernow special in the shape of a blue 4TC unit too.' That cereal packet card hotel is a true wonder!

Mr Squirrell has sent in these photos, the latest from Waddlemarsh. I agree with him saying - very suitable for these long dark evenings. As he describes it himself, this is "Somewhere SW of London - somewhen before today".:

Mr Watson sent us a selection from his Dean Park model railway, showcasing a couple of his recent Kernow Exclusive Bachmann deluxe models - lovely drop! The depot is set in the 1980’s and based in the Scottish region, with lots of scratch built structures and depot details.

In Phil's words: "This is my boys room. The layout is 5 meters x 4 meters. Bear in mind nothing is anywhere near finished." This is AMAZING! Oh to have all this room for a layout!

Mr Dodd: "A small herd of Deer look on as one of my GWR diesel cars passes a Cornish Tin mine.
" Wonderful!

Mr Monk's layout is currently in storage but he has shared this photo of his newly acquired Bachmann NCB Brake Van. He has posed the Bachmann Brake Van with his Heljan NCB Class 14 on his display board. Mr Monk shared - "This loco worked on the Ashington System with those Brake Vans, which the NCB purchased from British Rail. I had previously modelled an earlier NCB Ashington Brake Van, which was an ex-Great Northern Rly 8 Wheeler - my model of this is modified from a D&S Models Kit to show it in NCB condition." Thank you for sharing!

Mr Savin has sent us a previously unpublished photo of his layout. Click here for his latest blog “Milk Train”, which shows further pictures:

Mr Ker has sent in this photo of his layout with the fabulous KMRC Ark Royal. In his words: "The layout definitely a work in progress, but all lower-level track is in place (and operational). A second station will be on upper level.

Layout is only 3.1metres x 1.5/1.8 metres (a slight L at the upper station) but will have good magician's sleight of hand to fit in a genuine double-track mainline (removable storage sidings to be added) and two small terminus stations (trackwork for one at top-right of picture) each capable of handling one 3-coach loco-hauled train with run-round for loco and a second platform for push-pull autotrains or 2-car DMU as well as small goods yard.

This is my Kernow D601 Ark Royal at the head of a short train of Hawksworth coaches, crossing my model of Maidenhead Bridge. Main arches are approx 80% compression (and there should be another three small arches each end, but you can barely see those on the real thing) but I'm happy with the overall feel of it - especially since it was my first attempt at scratch-building, made for an earlier, never-quite-completed layout and now in need of a bit of tlc after recent house move."
