Botanic Gardens is the main focus of the East Yorkshire Area Group of the Scalefour Society. The layout is based on a former North Eastern Railway (NER) suburban station in west Hull that disappeared when the lines to Hornsea and Withernsea, and the low level line to Hull's Eastern Docks were closed in the 1960s. The track layout is relatively simple but the project combines plenty of buildings, varied traffic and a tramway. The layout is owned by Hull MRS and those working on the layout are members of both the Scalefour Society and the Hull MRS.

Station Update


Tonight we have another update on the station building!


The roof and chimneys are now fixed in place and Chris has started to add the posters which are all made using genuine North Eastern Railway posters edited in Photoshop. They really have breathed life into the building! The building will be one of the focal points of the layout and Chris has done a superb job with the building.

We had a very productive night tonight; the main 'yard' board has been thoroughly tested and it all works! We're very pleased and we can now move on and wire up the other boards which are plain line so should progress quite quickly.
