Built by the late Norman Eagles, the layout was clockwork powered 0 gauge coarse scale, and run strictly to timetable - Mr Eagles was employed in the timetabling department of London Transport. The layout was constructed in a building, in the garden of his Oxfordshire home, and was regularly featured in British model railway magazines over many years.
