A quick recap??¦

Weyford on Sea is our club??™s 00 layout, intended to depict a former Southern Railway terminus in the 1950??™s. Plenty of Dorset sun, sand and sea, served by lots of lovely Bulleid Pacifics, King Arthurs, Lord Nelsons etc. It is unashamedly a harking back to the days when holidays usually meant packing the bucket and spade, and hopping onto the train to the coast??¦

When we left you on the earlier RMWeb, work was continuing apace in the docks area. This is fed by a branch line from the main station. There is an island platform, with a couple of loops and a few sidings. Most of the track work around here is being set into the ground, which is both a long and tedious job??¦plenty of foamboard and DAS modelling clay! An initial flick of paint has gone over the DAS, and things are starting to look promising.

Eventually much of this area will be covered over by the ferry and flying boat terminals ??“ Weyford has direct links with the channel islands , which is based on the terminal buildings at Southampton and is currently under construction. Pictures will be posted in due course!

Anyway, I have taken a couple more pictures showing the progress with track inlaying, as well as scenic work with the cliffs and embankment retaining walls. Full marks to Tony for the foamboard constructions, which currently look a little WHITE, but will very much look the part after a nice flick of paint. You will be glad to know that the main line bridge will soon be sorted out as well??¦.
