Sankley was built for the Scalefour Society’s 1883 layout challenge and is an imaginary location on the A303 where it by-passes Bourton in Somerset. The location allows the layout to be the terminus of a short branch from Bourton (GWR), Wincanton (LMS/S&D) and Gillingham (SR) and is set in 1949. This allows a wide mix of pre-grouping and early BR stock to be run with some prototypical justification. Track is mainly hand made using code 75 steel rail, plastic chairs and plywood sleepers. Train control uses DC with the turnouts operated by Tortoise motors laid on their side.

For those considering making a change to P4, note that Sankley is a first attempt at working to P4 standards, which has provided a lot of fun for the group.
