The Right Track to Over Peover
This
is John Ryan’s private and extensive ”O” gauge layout depicting a section of
the LNER / BR main line based upon prototype practice. After a short
conversation with John, there’s a fantastic range of locomotives and rolling
stock in full action - all operating perfectly, often at high speeds! John Ryan
is a born and bred Doncastrian. So much so that he’s the current chairman of
Doncaster Rovers football club.
Two
periods are depicted on Over Peover. The first is the late ’30s - heyday of the
LNER. Gresley A4s are much in evidence with their rich variety of liveries -
two-tone grey, garter blue with red wheels and of course, glorious apple green.
All are hauling appropriate stock in grey, two-tone blue and teak.
The
second depicts John‘s train-spotting days at “Donny” from the 1950s with
another rich variety of colour's. This time it’s blue, Brunswick green,
carmine/cream and maroon. But it’s not just A4s. Many other classes are well
represented too.
The
layout is huge and contained in a large purpose-built shed at John’s home. Even
the shed cannot contain the layout which is a folded 8 configuration with
running outside on raised timbers.
With
Railwaymen in his family, a passion for railways and a hometown renowned for
its railways, John (with the help of Norman Solomon) has created a “dream come
true”.
This
DVD is a rare opportunity to share that dream.
