We are pleased presents some additional photographs of Calder Road which is featured in the Autumn 2006 issue of MRM. The layout was constructed by the members of the East Kilbride Model Railway Club and is regularly seen on the exhibition circuit in Scotland. It features a wide variety of modern traction and rolling stock which is operated in a typically urban setting featuring both modern and period structures. The theme is undeniably Central Belt of Scotland with coal and intermodal traffic dominating.
