Owned by Iain Morrison – The layout is set in the rolling Alpine foothills and has been designed using the ‘rabbit warren’ principles for fully automated running using iTrain and a laptop. The layout runs 5 trains simultaneously utilising multiple levels that can operate independently, yet facilitate trains to swapping between levels. The track design also allows for trains to disappear ‘offstage for periods’ thus confusing viewers.
The ‘rabbit warren’ style ensures that trains will not always appear from the expected exit and this provides great interest in younger viewers, and very often the more mature viewers, who often try to guess when the train will come from – they are generally very surprised when the ‘wrong train’ appears from where they expect the ‘right train’ to appear.
