Bambury Shed depicts a semi fictitious location during the transition period between the old steam locomotives and the new diesel fleet. The steam locomotives are almost invariably dirty and badly looked after, which is the way that most of us remember them!
Bambury Shed was originally built and is owned by Graham Heald. It has been extended and upgraded by club members.
It has been a regular “visitor” at the W&NW club (and it’s predecessor The Buckley and District Club) where the members have been heavily involved in the maintenance, upgrading and operation of the layout when on exhibition.
During transit to the exhibition at Crewe in January, the layout suffered significant damage due to the failure of a racking support member in the trailer. The turntable board dropped on to the shed board, punched the turntable upwards out of its mountings and scraped the scenery on the shed board. The layout was ‘fixed up’ before the show and operated without turning the locos. On return to the club, it was found that the surface boards under both shed boards were life expired and a decision was taken to strip the track, make new baseboards and relay with hand-made track.
A video of the layout at the Stafford Model Railway show Feb 2012 can be found here with our Billboards and a Vinyl Totem we printed for them at 13:01
