Urmston & District Model Engineering Society has two tracks, both catering for 3½” and 5″ gauge locomotives. The small original track consists of an oval of about 550 feet. This facility is useful for drivers not wishing to venture onto the ‘main line’ or to test a loco of uncertain reliability. It is also used as a training ground for drivers under tuition. It is not used for carrying public passengers. The steaming bays are situated inside this circuit. The larger track, of about 2200 feet, was in use in 1981, and circumnavigates the park. The ‘Abbotsfield Route’ is perhaps best described from the loco driver’s viewpoint. The direction of running is clockwise. The station is shown at the top of the plan (club house), and is on a downngrade which makes starting easy. At the left end of the station is a traversing section giving access to a spur. This allows complete trains to enter and leave the main line, thus avoiding delays assembling trains on the running line.
