Bond Lane Model Railway Layout

Sign In


Information for Event Organisers

Our aim is to make the lives of event organisers and exhibition managers as easy as possible and to put a little strain on their budgets as possible.

We built the layout  to fit in the book of our car and to be able to set up / pack away in under an hour. This means we do not have to hire a van and the chance of needing overnight acomodation is drastically reduced. We area also attempting to provide as much information in as easy a format as we can below - if there is something else we can add to make it even easier then please do let us know.

Layout Information

The layout is 9ft x 3ft (including operating space) and uses a total of 4 power sockets. Set up time is around an hour.

There are usually two to three operators.

A dark corner is better to really show off the lighting and scenery but not essential. 

Strobe lighting is used for the lightning simulation - we always display warning signs and have followed advice on frequencies to minimise any risk of impact on those suffering from photosensitivity.

Bond Lane has now been fitted with a motorised platform to allow us to lower it on demand when needed. This allows us to display it at eye level for anyone regardless of their height, standing or sitting.
