Title: Layout being given away - free to a good home
Post by: danny on July 06, 2020, 22:05
I've offered to help by sharing the following layout details. The current owner would really like to give it away (free of charge) as a complete layout but he has so far only had offers for individual buildings:

'"Went"
Built circa 1980 by the late Jack Hepton.
Has spent most of the last 30 years in loft storage, the last ten years with me. It must go before the builders arrive. I have neither the interest or eyesight to give  it a full restoration but the track looks salvageable and the micro modelling is excellent even by today's standard. It is too good to put in a skip and some of the buildings deserve another life.
There are no controllers or stock but lots of dust!
Total length is 13'9'' with a width of 26".
55x26
2 of 47,x26
16x26
Collection only from Castleford, about 5 mins from J32 of M62.'

Please message me if you are interested. I should emphasise that I am not connected with the layout, but offered to circulate the information here as the current owner doesn't have many narrow gauge or 009 Society contacts. His original post on RMWeb (including photos) is here: https://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/155822-009-layout/&tab=comments#comment-4029230
