Minories is a 'deceptively simple' [1] design for a model railway layout, designed by C. J. Freezer. The design was first published in Railway Modeller in 1957 and it became a regular of Peco's many collected plans books afterwards. [2] It is notable as an influential design, more than as a single instance of the model.
As these British layouts assumed the larger 00 scale of 4 mm to the foot (1:76.2), rather than H0's 1:87, the oversized locomotive bodies were now closer to scale size for the gauge. The coaching stock though had a 'miniature railway', rather than narrow-gauge, look to them, accentuated by the toast-rack designs of some open stock.
An O-14 Inglenook plan. The track is based on Kilham Sidings, on the Alnwick-Cornhill branch of the North Eastern Railway (NER). [1] The sidings should be able to accommodate 5, 3, and 3 wagons, the leading spur accommodating 3 wagons and the locomotive. For the original version of the puzzle there are 8 wagons in the sidings, the rule being:
American OO scale is a model railroad standard that has a scale of 4 mm to 1 foot (1:76) and utilises 19 mm (0.748 in) for the standard gauge track. The standard is different from British 00 gauge (which is popular in Great Britain), as it utilises 19mm gauge track rather than HO scale 16.5 mm ( 0.65 in ) gauge track.
The layout was based loosely on the Metropolitan Railway station at Liverpool Street in London and packed a great deal of operating potential into a modest layout that could easily be built by a relatively inexperienced modeller. Originally published in 1957, innumerable layouts have been built following its simple but elegant design.
