Here’s James Eggleton-Akers’ model railway layout, inspired by a set of sidings just outside Neasden South Junction, in London.
“Bastwick Wood Sidings was made with a desire of exhibiting my own layout and work for the first time.
It takes inspiration from a set of sidings, just outside Neasden South Junction, in London, with the concept being the railway is surrounded by industry on both sides, with various warehouses in the background, and a scrap yard in the foreground (still to be constructed).

The railway itself models a set of engineers sidings, set primarily in the 1985-95 period, primarily focused on the Dutch engineers scheme, but with other guests from the Satlink department, as well as various speedlink rolling stock, to add some interest to the rolling stock.
Class 08, 33, 37, 47 are the main source of motive power, with more to be added in the near future. The various wagons would be ‘dumped’ by the engineers and S&T departments, to be picked up at a future date, and works in a Inglenook style. The layout is still in construction, with the hope of exhibiting the layout for the first time in late 2024-early 2025.”
