Woodside is a commercial area based on the North East of England with a small "workman's" halt.

Our aim was to create a 'micro' layout in O Gauge, based on shunting operations to local warehouses and a small local passenger service. The largest of the warehouses is owned by Woodside and Son (hence the name of the layout). All buildings are scratch built.

The track is Peco, and Tortoise motors operate the points. The area is served by a J94, a G5, 03 and 08 deisel shunters a sentinel, and a class 101 DMU.
