Hazelwood Junction is built to N gauge so that members can use ready-to-run stock. It is based on the line from Hazel Grove through Middlewood to Disley, New Mills Central and Hayfield Junction.

Since this photo was taken in February 2007 the scenery at the back has progressed rapidly under the guidance of group leader Wally Pugh (pictured).

At the monthly meeting on 10th August 2007, Hazelwood Junction saw its first train able to complete a circuit.

The layout's electrician, Frank Gordon, reckons that he has used 3855 feet of wire connected by about 2000 soldered joints.

There are 3 double slips and 16 points on the layout operated by 22 point motors. These in turn operate 22 microswitches, 9 add-on switches and 13 relays. The relays switch the track wiring to suit the setting of the points.

Finally there are 13 section isolation switches and 12 push buttons (to release in the fiddle yard) and to assist the operators in keeping track of the layout are 59 LEDs: 13 red for live sections, 12 for indication of which controller is in charge of sections where track possession can change and 34 which show which way the points are set.
