T Gauge - Dauntsey Lock

I have just completed my third linear motor T Gauge layout.  It depicts the little hamlet of Dauntsey Lock in SW England in the 1930s, including the minor junction station of Dauntsey and a stretch of the nearby Wilts and Berks canal.  A video of the canal is in the Electronics/Animation section, but this post covers the complete layout. 

The model is 6' x 2' in 1:480 scale, or about half a scale mile in length.  It features a busy double track main line and full automation for exhibition running including simple some shunting (switching) moves.  The trains and canal boats are use a linear motor track system, my own design but based on the IDL Motors product.

For the video, I just let the layout do its own thing while running around with the camera trying to get some good shots.  The video shows all the typical train movements.
