I have attempted to download some photos of my layout. Hopefully they have come out.the layout started out as a US switching layout but was converted to British outline as described previously .

The intention was to portray a might have been line near Purbeck in Dorset. In1898 a light railway was authorised from Wareham to Osmington near Weymouth but it was never built.I started the model intending to run locos that ran to Swanage.However I like different aspects of the old southern region and I feel the model has developed a more Southeastern feel. If so this was not deliberate but having spent most of the last 50 years living by and traveling on the the old southeastern it was perhaps inevitable.

In any event the layout forms a backdrop to a growing collection of southern models.
