Wemblesden park is a 4mm scale exhibition layout based on the Wembley/Willesden/Stonebridge Park area of North London. The layout mesures 16'x8' and uses the MERG superbloc system to drive all the trains on the main lines. This maintains a constant flow of stock moving across the main viewing area.
The TMD shed building features a working loco lift as well as servo operated shed doors. There is also an operational carriage washing machine where trains of empty coaching stock pass through usually hauled by class 82 & 83 locos.
The power signal box is based on the design used at Rugby, Bletchley and Willesden and features a fully detailed relay room on the ground floor while upstairs there is a fully working track diagram linked to the layouts signaling system. The town centre is a typical 1960's redevelopment that also incorporates a bus station as well as shops on two levels.
The layout was designed to keep the public entertained at exhibitions by always having trains moving as well as to try and show what it was like growing up back in the 1980's. The layout's home base is in the north east of england and normally requires 2 operators for a show.

PLEASE NOTE BEFORE MAKING COMMENTS
This footage was filmed whilst setting up before the second day of a two day show at Locomotion, Shildon. As a result some of the train sounds had to be edited out due to people talking in the background. ;0)
Also I have deliberately left the footage as raw as possible to show prospective exhibition organisers how the layout looks to the public in real time.
