Napier Road is a fictious layout set in the early 1960s in the North Eastern Region of British Railways. With the demise of steam, new diesel locos were appearing on the nation's railways.
This makes the layout quite distinctive, as we run only 'green diesel era' locos.
We run examples of the new classes of locos that were coming onto the scene at the time including: Deltics, Peaks, English Electric Type 4s and 3s, Brush Type 2s, BRCW Type 2s and BR shunters.
In 1974, these were reclasified under the TOPS scheme as Classes 55, 45, 40, 37, 31, 27 and 08s, respectively.
The layout is DCC, powered by Digitrax and many locos are fitted with sound.
