Withiel Junction


Recommended Posts

A very simple junction station on a minor line, track layout based on Blodwell junction in the Tanat valley. The line will share a narrow valley with a stream, and be set on a 90degree curve.. It is set in Cornwall, as an extension of the Ruthernbridge branch toward Roche. Such an extension extension was proposed in the 1870’s to link the Bodmin & Wadebridge to the Cornwall Minerals Railway. I have assumed that not only was it actually built, but that a later light railway was constructed westwards from the Withiel area to the coastal village of Trenance, in hope of developing a tourist trade. 

 

The cameo will be in 00 gauge on a curved baseboard, and it is intended to make it viewable from either side by repositioning the backscene.

I don't think anybody has received an acknowledgement of their entry. I certainly haven't.

 

Nope, neither have I. I thought that if you were posting updates on here or the other 'recognised' forum, once you had submitted your form, that was all you needed to do.

I've now prepared an outline plan for what has so far been in my head - see below. The inside radius of the curved baseboard is 3', outside radius is 4'. I've had the baseboard since last year - it was actually a test build for a baseboard section for an '0' gauge test track. I thought it would do nicely for a cameo layout. Pretty light - the baseboard surface is 16mm honeycomb cardboard. The operator would normally sit inside the curve, so that the scene 'wraps around' them.
