Hackworth (Trafalgar Terrace) Engine Sheds


Hackworth (Trafalgar Terrace) is a tribute to the railways of the 1950s when steam reigned supreme and a visit to a locomotive shed or workshops was the highlight of the week.
The model is based on a fictitious area to the North West of Birmingham on the British Railways Western Region line.
The model has locomotive workshops together with a 4 Road ‘Churchward’ Straight Shed and a Roundhouse.
The locomotives on display are from humble pannier tanks through to ‘Castles’ and ‘Kings’.
Colour is provided by some of the preserved locomotives that the British Railways Board kept in working order.
In the works you can see locomotives under repair, being lifted and welding work being carried out.
The Roundhouse contains a working turntable with 16 radiating tracks.
Outside you will see locomotives being serviced, dropping their fires, being coaled and watered.
All the above accompanied by light and sound taking you back to the 50s.
The layout is 4.1 metres long by 0.6metres wide and can be transported in the back of 2 estate sized cars and is available for one- or two-day exhibitions.
This layout is normally kept in the West Midlands.
