Dickens House is an 800mm x 500mm layout I originally built in 3 days for Christmas 2007. It is currently being rebuilt for the Eastern Rail Show in August 2009.

Insulation was used for the baseboard. Sleepers are lollypop sticks. Ballast and driveway is clean sand.

A roof was added also made from foamcard . An icy road was built using plastic bags pva'd over a black base.

Snow is plaster-of-paris over cardboard . Rail is Hornby, pre-bent then held down with peco track-pins.

Christmas lights were purchased from my local Sue Ryder charity shop and were the main reason I built this layout.

A shell was made from foamcard covered with lollypop sticks on the outside and downloaded wallpaper on the inside.
