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. 4-4-0 Class L..

News Update

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.
Please click on photographs or any red or blue text (sometimes underlined but not always) to open links and then use your "back button" to return.
The very latest news is I'm going DCC but not on this layout, on the next one whose baseboards are due to be collected from  "Black Cat Baseboards" on Monday 16th. November next. Now I will have to think of a name for it!
