Beachley Dock

Beachley Dock

Langzaam groeide een idee voor een Engels thema en zo groeide in 5 jaar bouwtijd onze impressie van een Engelse haven in de jaren rond 1930. Nieuw is dat de baan van 3 kanten is te bekijken met een verrassende blik in de volledig gedetailleerde fabriek. We vonden ideeën in het tijdschrift Archive, in brochures over bijv. de oude smalle kanalen in Engeland en tijdens onze show in Ipswich. Op de baan is veel te zien: werkende kranen, rijdende tractor welke de wagons van de draaischijf trekt, boten en er is rook alom. In de pub kom je tot rust na een werkdag en inspector Morse zou de ale zeker waarderen. Maar een spelletje dart is ook mogelijk. Vergeten we bijna de loc’s, die voorzien van DCC decoders (Lenz/ESU) met hun beweging en geluid de illusie nog versterken. Dit is Engeland, in de jaren 1930 (uche uche)

Beachley Dock (7 mm/0)

A new idea came up and Beachley Dock grew in 5 years to the harbour with factory. We found a lot of ideas in old numbers of Archive, a brochure of the narrow canals of Birmingham, in Ipswich (during a show) and a lot of books and brochures. But, we combined it into a “freestyle” British lay out: it is our perception of an English dock.There is lots to see: working cranes, a little tractor which pulls the wagons from the turntable, boats and smoke all along. The pub where we can still enjoy the good old ale (Inspector Morse would love this pub). Look inside and play darts with us! O, I almost forget: the locos, we did our best to make them look pretty. But not only look pretty: Lenz and ESU digital systems make it possible to add real life to the locos with whistle, shovelling coal, etc. etc.
