Hackworth (Jutland Street) Engine Sheds.


We were asked if it would be possible to exhibit at one day shows and as it takes 3 hours to set up and take down our main layout an alternative was required.
The solution was to take the engine shed portion of the layout add a small fiddle yard and create Hackworth (Jutland Street) as a stand-alone layout which could be transported easily in a car.

Hackworth (Jutland Street) represents a locomotive depot in the 1950s situated on the Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire border.
The main function of the depot is to supply and maintain freight locomotives for transporting coal from the collieries and open cast areas to the main line at Staveley and Annesley.
The fictional location of Hackworth is somewhere to the west of Mansfield.
The stock is primarily of Great Central and LNER origin with several W.D. and BR standard classes.
For variety there are sometimes visitors in the shape of the new diesels that are beginning to infiltrate and the rare visit of a preserved loco.

Hackworth (Jutland Street) has proved very popular with its working turntable, braziers and fires, workshop sounds and of course a full stock of sound and light fitted locomotives.
