Welcome to Shelford-upon-Trent...
Hello and welcome to my site about my loft model railway called Shelford-upon-trent.
***(previously Solehill Railway)***
Please also visit my TMD style layout site Ivetsgate TMD
I have started on this layout due to the weather, and money. Smaller layout = cheaper, and shorter time before you can play

Small update to the updates & pictures page
Do you not like having to check back alot to see if there is an update? Well I have decided to set up an update email. Everytime I update the site, I will email you saying I have updated it. This means people don't forget to check back etc. Just email me using the contact me page...
Where it all started
My form of railway modelling used to be only at Christmas and occasionally in summer and my Dad helped me create a looped layout in different designs, then I simply ran our trains on it. I also later had a temporary layout in my bedroom but I never had it out for more than a month. In the summer of '07, Dad put out some base boards in the loft and I just ran another temporary layout but the good thing was it wasn't in the way.
Come November, I came across Camelot Junction by chance and was always looking at the site and checking for updates. Simon (of Camelot) then started to create a demo layout to show all the techniques he uses for his layout. I decided to try and use these techniques on a very similar layout of my own (Ivetsgate Yard) ready for doing the loft layout. The site address is above.
I then bought a Dynamis DCC system and am going to use this on the layout. It works fine and is perfect for what I need.
Enjoy looking around the site and always check back for updates or email me (Contact Me page) your email address and I can email you when there is a latest update...
