The Test Track is one of prime features of any model railway club and ours is no exception! With 9 different gauges and combinations of rail types on offer, the Test Track allows club members to run and test stock. In addition to this, the younger club members sometimes stage races around and around the track.

The layout itself has been designed in a dodecagon (Twelve-sided) shape, in order to give 6 pairs of boards, and a continuous circle of running line, as opposed to the more conventional oval. Additionally, the compact and easily portable design of this layout means that it some times exhibited in the stead of our larger layouts, most recently at the 2008 Norfolk Police gala whilst Brooklands Park was undergoing restoration.

Here, the layout proved a great success with young and old alike, the endearing fascination being watching the trains run round and round and round...............
