Model railway enthusiasts tend to accumulate a lot of ‘stuff’. Sometimes, it’s things from previous layouts, items we have been gifted, or simply scenic items that we had to buy in a pack of six when we only needed two. Pete Latham is one such modeller who has accumulated a large quantity of ‘stuff ’ over the years. His layout ‘Claremont’ was featured in the 2023 edition of Great British Model Railways, and after deciding that his ever-growing pile of buildings, track and accessories was getting too large, he set about building this ‘N’ gauge layout ‘Hopeless’.
Look out for Pete’s layout in an upcoming issue of Model Rail.
