In the 70s, the yard was rationalised and used for storing steel pipes for the offshore industry. Later still, it became the railhead for deliveries of calcium carbonate slurry to Croxton and Garry, and today it sees regular flows of this traffic as well as drilling mud.
- Waton - N, present day. Based loosely on Water Orton, Waton challenges N gauge conventions with its handbuilt track. Waton was a clear winner in the 2010 RMWeb layout challenge.
