About this blog

Welcome to my blog.

Here I shall update you on my wonderful goings on, as I try to faithfully recreate the locos and rolling stock of The Southwold Railway, in 00n3.

The Southwold Railway was a narrow gauge railway between Halesworth and Southwold in the English county of Suffolk. A total 8 miles 63 1⁄2 chains(14.15 km) long, it was 3 ft (914 mm) narrow gauge.

It opened in 1879 and closed in 1929.
