Cross Channel Ferry Port Diorama


Rail Sail

195 views

As part of my project to preserve British Rail Shipping / Sealink UK. I would be interested to hear from fellow members that may like to build some of our former UK ferry ports in n gauge. I can provide all the research skills but would require a fine scale modeller that would be willing to contribute there time to this interesting project.

 

I have included some images of the fleet!

Hi,

 

Nice model boats. Reminds me of when we lived in Paris and used to get the train from Paris to the port, onto the ferry and then another train to Victoria. The French side always used to be more pleasant as the gas turbine turbo trains were like gliding on a comfortable sofa!

 

Good luck with the project! Look forward to seeing it develop.

 

Best regards,

 

Jeremy

Thank you so much for your kind comments. The port of Newhaven with its former excellent rail sail interchange with regular Sealink services to Dieppe would be a suitable prototype for a UK Cross Channel Ferry Port Diorama.

I have attached some photos of Sealink Newhaven. The Newhaven - Dieppe service was the fastest route between London and Paris in the pre Channel Tunnel era.
