As the topic title and description says really.

A place to add links (either to threads or blogs) to Southern / BR(s) related layouts here on the forum. In due course I will try and add links to other layouts that I can find.

The Station Tea Rooms at Crediton, in the station building, is a fine place. I had occasion to visit it twice in the last few weeks, both occasions for work purposes, as it happens.

 

Inside, there is this rather fine embryonic Scale 7 model of Crediton itself, inside a glass case:

And just to remind ourselves, here are a few photos of the real thing, in it's present day L&SWR colours, all done by the local station supporters group:

(a happy coincidence at work resulted in NR painting the signalbox in L&SWR colours as well. It had been planned to do it in green and cream, but when I overheard a conversation about it, I was able to steer them towards the older livery, knowing that the station support group had expressed a wish to see it that colour).

Count me in with Treneglos our Southern , well BR(S), layout set on the Withered Arm in the late 50s / early 60s. Link hopefully in my signature. More to follow when I next have access to a real PC.

 

Edit: from January 2018 the layout has been bought from the group and in the ownership of a new team in the SE.

I currently have 2 BR(S) layouts on the go - "Clerebury Town" (Bournemouth line in the east Hants area, mid-60s era) and the replacement for my exhibition layout "South Pimlico" which is in the planning stage; this will ultimately cover two separate eras - 1966/67 (end of SR steam) and late '70s BR blue era.

Pics of part-built Clerebury Town will follow once I've cleared some of the junk off the boards!

Just a quick post to bump to the fact that I have updated the OP to include a list of layoutlinks. If there are any I have missed or you would like adding let me know and I will update accordingly.

My layout http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/2025-ampton-post-privitisation-oo-in-the-south/

 

Based on Southampton Central in regards to track plan and lay of the land but the buildings are more 21st century (most of them).

The way my stock situation is the layout is set in two time frames, 2004-2006-ish and now. Unfortunately haven't had much time to do any work on the layout recently. However there are changes afoot.

West of Yeovil but east of Exeter

 

Having shrugged off the S&DJR escapade, the thread can have a new beginning.

Hello Tim

 

I am watching with much interest. Your track plan is spot on for much of the ex-LSW network, but a little re-writing of history may be appropriate for other features of the station site. Originally, the Salisbury and Yeovil Railway, Exeter extension, had a very definite house style for the station buildings, and goods sheds. Much was in place by 1860, and remained until Beeching. Some of the station houses seem to have been modified, either with enlargements, or simplifying the gable ends, but the house style remained.

 

I have chosen to side-step the problem by inventing a fictitious cross-country route and terminus, but still hoping to keep the Yeovil to Exeter architectural style. Scratch-construction of these buildings will be my limiting factor.
