Edward's Farm is a farm yard with narrow gauge tracks in it loosely based on the Lincolnshire potato railways that used ex WWI railway equipment to move produce from the fields to various points of collection. This also included interchange with the Midland and Great Northern lines. This is a slow burn through 2025 and I will post photos occasionally as I don't expect progress to be rapid, progress so far will be in a post below. Thanks to @NHY 581 this layout has been nicknamed 'Operation King Edward' and I have developed it as Edwards Farm as Edward is a family name. My family are from Essex which is where my wife and I lived and grew up though we have moved to South Dorset in 2004.
My current layout is the Upbech saga of three connected micro layouts that have been quite well received in the 'other place' and Upbech Drove and Upbech St Mary's have had a few exhibition appearances. St Mary's will be at Southampton on the 25th and 26th January 2025. The layouts are EM gauge and trains run through Drove, across the town quay and arrive at St Mary's in the space of around 9 feet including a cassette fiddle yard. Each part can work as a self contained layout though are usually connected together. This is a home layout that goes to occasional exhibitions and is run at least once every week. Stock on the layout is a mix of rtr etched and plastic kits built over the last six years. The layout is run in two time frames either 1946-51 and around 1963.
To give you an idea of where I am up to, below are some photos of the current layout.
