Mersey Division is our 0 gauge layout, occupying the upper
floor at Dean Hall around the outside of Dewsbury Midland. It
has facilities for continuous running with a hefty gradient
which gives locos a severe test.
There is one main station, Cornbrook, with a branch line currently under construction. The group leader is Les Fram.
I'm not sure whose Furness 4-4-0 was visiting, but it and the
coaches are beautiful models. |

The Western diesel, cunningly painted different colours on different
sides, belongs to Peter Radford. |

Cornbrook station approach. |

The fiddle yard has the branch line climbing above it to the branch terminus. |
|
The Mersey Division control panels give a good impression of
the storage space available, with the left hand panel controlling the fiddle yard and the right-hand one taking care of the loops
off the main running lines.
There is definitely only one person
who knows how to fix this if it goes wrong. |
