NORTH DOWN MODEL RAILWAY SOCIETY
MILL ROAD
OVERVIEW
Mill Road is the NDMRS version of Inglenook Sidings, a shunting challenge for operation by visitors who try to move wagons into the correct order. The layout is 8’X2’ operated from the front.
TRACK
Trackwork is OO code 100 and is laid to form a head shunt and three sidings. Point control is by stud and probe.
MOTIVE POWER
A Jinty or other small locomotive is used together with the operator's selection of five differently-coloured flatbed wagons.
OPERATION
Operators pick five coloured sticks from a group of eight in a bag. They then shunt the wagons matching their chosen colours into the correct order. The head shunt will hold one locomotive and three wagons. Siding one holds three wagons, siding two holds three wagons and siding three holds the (hopefully) completed train with five wagons to match their chosen colours.
