A Short Summary....
I
present a model railway layout based on a fictitious station
on the Nunhead to Lewisham line of the Southern Region of British Railways.It is constructed to a guage of
18.2mm , E.M., 4mm scale. The time scale is anytime in the early to mid 1960’s
and in an attempt to model a feature of the “Southern
Electric” system I have not seen done before in the many
years I have travelled to exhibitions in this country and aboard; I
have constructed the
tramway overhead wire system installed at that
time in certain shunting yards. My main running lines do have the
conventional third rail and I have fitted two
“flash” units for which I have become known for
over the years. As well as E.M.U’s there are several steam
locos to be seen, from the ugly
Bulleid Q1 to the beautiful ex- S.E.C.R.

Welcome to my new site created for me by my son-in-law
Robin Thompson, with some "help" from my four year old grandaughter,
Nadia
"Odd'ard" Thompson.
They both appear to-day by kind
permission of my youngest daughter Helen, herself an able layout
operator as she has proved in both Scotland and Germany.
