Loch Dour represents a "might have been" ex North British branch off the West Highland line, through Glen Douglas to Inverbeg on the banks of Loch Lomond. Loch Dour being the only intermediate station.
Passenger traffic is mostly loco-hauled mk1/2 stock to Glasgow Queen Street, loco's coming mainly from the West Highland fleet based at Eastfield. The intention is to run the layout either mid 70's, with the Sulzer type 2's on vacuum braked stock, or mid 80's with mainly large logo-class 37's on vacuum braked passenger and engineers trains, and air braked freights.
Locos from further afield can sometimes turn up on freights from the lowland yards at Mossend, Sighthill and Cadder. 70's traffic is mainly vans and coal whilst the 80's traffic is mainly MOD stores, oil and some timber, with the occasional van of fish food for the local salmon farms.
The layout is powered by a Lenz set 100 with 2 x LH100 push button keypad's. Loco's are fitted with ESU Sound chips from mainly Howes Models or our own sound projects, with the odd S.W.D , Olivia's or Mr Sound Guy. Most are also fitted with improved bass speakers. Points, lights and signals are also controlled using the keypad.
