With inspiration from Thornaby and Tinsley depots STEVE SMITH looked to the 1980s for his first ever major layout to recreate the atmosphere of a busy TMD in ‘OO’ gauge.

MY NAME IS STEVE Smith. I’m 53 and welcome to my very first exhibition layout build – Thornley TMD. Set in the late 1980s and early 1990s, Thornley is a fictional place based around Yorkshire and covers the BR blue era up to the subsectored grey liveries that once could be seen around the country in abundance.
