009 Model Layout - Kingston Regis

- Created by John and Jane Jacobs this is a wonderful layout with minute detailing. The layout is built to 4mm/ft (1:76) using 9mm gauge track, commonly known in the UK as '009' and represents a 2 foot 3 inch narrow gauge railway serving the fictitious small English town of Kingston Regis. All the track work and points (turnouts/switches) are hand built from SMP phosphor bronze Code 75 rail using 3mm or 4mm wide strips of printed circuit board as sleepers (ties). The layout is 12 foot 3 inches long and 18 inches wide with a 'fiddle yard' located at 90 degrees to one end. The rolling stock and locomotives are all constructed from a variety kits. Although Kingston Regis is fictitious most of the buildings have been modelled from actual buildings from around England. For example, the station building is based on Portsmouth Arms on the Exeter to Barnstaple line, and the Crown Hotel on the hotel of the same name in Wells, Somerset. The church is loosely based on the one at Caldecott in Leicestershire. All the buildings have been built by Jane using the now, regrettably, unavailable Linka Casting System. The backscenes have been handpainted by Jane, using artist's acrylic paints.
I have really enjoyed your video and it really helps me with my recovery from my brain tumour and stroke as I try to get back to my modelling I mention my illness so you know who is watching and why thank you 😂
That was a shear pleasure to watch ,all your hard work on this layout has really paid of .Well done on a really superb layout .😊😊
Lost for words, unbelievable. I should love to actually see it.
Extremely well done, capturing the essence of a small town through which a train runs to service it. You really managed to project the feel of a small community and its inhabitants going about their business, not overwhelmed by the passing trains.
Thank you, Joe.
This is a wonderful layout, great job. Thank you, John and Jane. Best Regards.
What a stunning layout! Centering it around a focal point that's really special to the builder was definitely a good way to go, as it really brings the whole scene together. I love the sheer number of people and animals on the layout as well, it really brings the whole scene to life. This has also taught me several useful tips that I can hopefully use on my own layout someday. Thank you so much for sharing.
Speaking as someone who works in N scale(1:160), I have to say I was most impressed by what I'd seen in this video. And what's more, you've given me plenty of inspiration for my own model railroad project. Thanks a bunch! :)
what a great film and a truly wonderful layout

Fantastic
jaw drops. 1000 points for thee.
Phenomenal so
@ajhdbsteam thank you, although i have since learnt more about the scale since and the north wales narrow gauge railways are extermly lovely.
Wow!
garghhh, how are the buildings made?? they look amazing!
@goldie103103
1:76 is a SCALE, not a gauge. 1:76 scale is also known as 4mm/foot. So in 1:76 scale you can have 00, EM, P4, 009 gauges and others.
So 1:76 is correct for this layout.
Great video of the 009 gauge. hope you like mine diesel dave's
@KingstonRegis Thank you John, I understand now.
@goldie103103 Yes I think you're right - but the film's up and too late to change. Doesn't detract from a damn fine layout though!
Never mind about the 009. Just read it in your description.
Did you take the video of this layout? Super job. Wonderful layout. What does the 009 in the title mean?
HOLY
@matanuialive2010 was thing about putting it on a 00 gauge layout if it was which is the case.
@oldironandy Im not a total idiot, Ive got a 1.76 scale layout with 00, I have been working at it for nearly 10 years now.
@railwaychannel I think you are both right but if some one could explain 009 to me then I would be very happy
A common mistaken comparison of "scale" and "gauge" - there's plenty of explanation on the web and in books. I won't divert here - I'm missing this beautiful film, and its content!
Im confused, I thought 1.76 was 00 (4mm)?
Oliver Goldsmith it is but using N gauge track to make narrow gauge in the 4mm scale
hmm. most folk put the railroad in first then the buildings . hmmm
