CUPAR Model Rail exhibition

Home | Cupar & District Model Railway Club

18th & 19th July Cupar Model Rail The Corn Exchange, Cupar KY15 4BT

We would like to thank the organisers and all our  visitors who visited  to discuss all things Railway modeling 

With a BIG THANKYOU to everyone who voted for ABBEY COVE

ABBEY COVE is an end to end 'OO' layout featuring two separate lines. Seen here is the Harbour  line which can be run on analogue or DCC. An elevated section line can be run under the control of a shuttle module with modifications to allow trains to pass in the central station. The lower line is normally operated using DCC and runs to a small dock yard area. This layout is on show in our club room. Today we see Diesel Class 25 negotiating past the maintenance team whilst the fishing boat makes a excellent viewing platform.While in the background making a guest appearance is a visiting Transport for Wales  DMU at a halt at Abbey cove platform. Feel free to come along and see it - contact us via our 'CONTACT US' page for an invitation to join us.
