 1 The Wagon Repair Depot receives wagons from all over the region. This means that a variety of freight rolling stock can be seen running on the layout – many of which would not normally be seen or required at other local industries |
 2 The main repair shed at the Wagon Repair Depot was assembled from twelve Airfix/Dapol engine sheds. The other structures are either scratch-built or kit-bashed |
 3 Among the freight wagons on the layout are several scratch-built examples. Shown here in the reception sidings is a TOPS FFA container flat, a JSA curtain-hooded bogie steel-carrier and a PRA clay-hopper. The other wagons are propriety RTR |
