Cobbolds Wharf - A new club layout

[BrushType4]

The Bury St Edmunds MRC, my local club, has embarked on a 7mm exhibition standard layout to be loosely based on Ipswich Docks. The name Cobbold Wharf comes from the Tolly Cobbold brewery based in Ipswich.

A few meetings have been had between interested parties and it has been agreed to build to S7 standards. This is for a couple of reasons, we have a few S7 contacts locally and little access to fine scale layouts combined with apart from myself and Barry Norman who is also a member of the group, everyone is starting from scratch in 7mm. Hopefully in the fullness of time, they may find their way to Sudbury and become paid up S7 members

So to the layout plan...

Even though it's loosely based, I recognised the area they have choosen straight away, it's the curve round from the lock gates to the Cliffe Quay. In later years it was fun to watch 08's with freightliner trains and massive Euro bogie cargowagonssqueeze around that curve There was also a little ship yard and slip way just by the lock gates control tower.

I was a late comer to this and didn't have any input into the plan or design!
