Sandy Shores - A sunbleached seaside railway

I usually prefer to work from a prototype, but for this layout I really wanted to create a "dream" scenario. So although geographically it is fairly close to prototypes that I've built in the past, this layout is what I would imagine as my dream location. Basically, this layout is a fictional fantasy that I really wish existed! Somewhere on a spit on the South Coast where nothing is done with a sense of hurry, and a narrow gauge railway trundles slowly across beautiful sand dunes to a rudimentary, slightly tatty, but charming station. A lighthouse completes the sea view with a converted railway carriage that I call home!
