THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE RAILWAY
A member’s railway, shared with visitors.
St Anton is owned by club member Dave Ashwood. It is a privately owned layout, rather than a club-owned railway, and is normally kept at home.

PLAN & OPERATION
Mountain scenery. Straightforward running.
A figure-of-eight circuit provides continuous running, with goods sidings and a route to an upper-level station. A single train can run without intervention, making the layout well suited to relaxed exhibition operation.
How the trains are controlled
DC analogue
A single train can run continuously without intervention. One or two operators.

Construction and rolling stock
The railway uses a single, solid-topped, open-frame board, measuring 4 ft × 2 ft, which sits on a table. Its German-outline rolling stock mixes steam and diesel locomotives from the early 1970s.
