Elbow Lane is a small yard with a short semi-dilapidated platform for shuttle trains. Another old platform is no longer used for passengers and is a shunting neck for the goods shed/platform. There is also a small loco stub that doubles as a fuelling point.

Some would call it a Micro Layout at a total of 7’ 6” or 2250mm. It uses DCC Sound to full effect in its loco and EMU stud but with pointwork operated by servos. Trackwork is Peco 00 Bullhead with some pointwork by British Finescale. Rolling stock uses hands-free magnetic couplings. During 2024 the layout had a 2′ 6″ extension added making it 10′ in total. However, it can be exhibited in its original OR extended form. See Exhibition Manager’s sheet below.
The layout has its own integral LED lighting and is usually operated from in front of the fiddleyard end.
