Programme notes
Stane Street is the finesacle OO gauge layout of the Colchester & District Model Railway Club.
Stane Street is loosely based on the station at Rayne, on the former Bishops Stortford, Dunmow and Braintree railway. The station building is an example of Great Eastern Railway '1865' architecture although the building modelled is from Dunmow rather than Rayne. The goods shed is a shortened version of the one at Rayne.
The track layout is a somewhat simplified version of Rayne with thaddition of a loop to give maore operating scope.
The time era has been set in the 1950's period and assumes that the line did not lose it's passenger service! The trains are representative of those that would have been seen on secondary and branch lines around East Anglia during the 1950's although not all would necessarily have been seen at Rayne.
The model uses finescale OO gauge track to code 75. Points are changed using the pencil method and all point motors have polarity switches attached to them. Trackwork is ballasted in the traditional method and rail sides have all been suitably "rust" painted. Magnets have been inserted in the track bed to allow for hands off shunting using Sprat and Winkle couplings.
Buildings are all scratchbuilt, trees and greenery are mostly from the 'Green Scene' range. Basic scenery is built up from polystyrene and covered with flock powders etc. All rolling stock is owned by the individual members.
