The clickable images below link to parts of a virtual tour made up of 640x480 images and information on the ACCRS's
HO scale layout. The order in which locations are presented here is roughly the same as they would be encountered by a
"northbound" train crew starting from the southern city of Kennsington.
More information about each locale is available with the larger image.
