CONSTRUCTION PLAN of Nathanville Model Railway Village

Explore Nathanville's Railway Enthusiasts Group to see what others Railway & Model Railway Enthusiasts are up to on Squidoo. The Site Plan above, not to scale, shows the general layout as it currently stands. You may notice there is a large area behind the main station (centre), and the agricultural fields on the hill to the right that are still under development. Some of the agricultural land (2ft x 3ft - 61cm x 91cm) is earmarked for residential development e.g. a row of semi-detached houses, and the waste ground behind the station for a depot. The green land next to the vicarage is ready residential development. |

UNDERGROUND
The underground (subway) was made with a gap of 8" (20 cms) between the underneath of the top table
and the top of the lower table to allow sufficient room for access when
laying the track and for maintenance. The subway table has a hole in
the middle (also for access) and although not as long as the main table
(only 8ft (2.4 meters)) juts-out in front of the main table by about
6" (15 cms). The subway table is supported by the same legs supporting
the main table top.
