Hello and welcome to my blog.

My Model railway combines my love of steam, industry, sectorisation and my local area (Kent). The model is split into two levels, each is different.

The lower level is the passenger, modern side of things. I am modelling a fictional station called Singleton Central which is set around the late 1980s / early 1990s. This is "through station" although you can only leave one side! It has undergone a major rebuilding since the early days and I will complete it when time and other commitments allow.

The second level is a marshalling yard and depot, with various industrial buildings and sidings. This is where my large collection of Hunslet Austerities (x15) shunt wagons and order trains to be taken away. Again this is a work in progress and pictures will be posted as I progress.

I am very constrained by space (it's in two corners of my bedroom) so this is why I went for two levels and they are linked by a very steep incline. I understand it's not realistic but it's the only feasible way to provide a link between the two levels and eras!

I hope you find this interesting and will watch this space as I slowly progress. Suggestions and comments are very welcome! Attached are some photos of the layout under construction, I must apologise for the debris scattered around.
