    I have got to say I absolutely love your Churchill Halt layout, really inspiring and after watching your you tube videos and viewing another rm web members layout I decided to take the plunge and came over to 7mm.

    Having lived and been brought up not far from Sarsden Halt near Bourton on the Water I really have a deep interest and love of the Banbury to Cheltenham line. Thank you once again.

    Best wishes

    Julian.

      Thanks Julian,

       

      As you probably have discovered I have re-fashioned the project to a terminus. But Churchill Halt is to be re-made with the proper track plan of just three points and one siding.....next year.

       

      The Halte is resting up at the moment......

      Very interesting, John! I'd just decided to model Sarsden Halt myself in 4mm when I saw your model. I grew up in Kingham, and my father taught at Kingham Hill School, which Sarsden Halt served. I've been fascinated by the Banbury-Cheltenham line since my childhood, so Sarsden seems a great place to restart modelling after a gap of – what? – 40 years. I think it'll be more a modular diorama (a micro-layout, I suppose) than full layout as I've very limited in space. Hence Sarsden rather than Chippie or Kingham.

      I was hoing to ask you about the layout with the extra lines, but I take it they were an imaginative extension over the three point layout?

      (this is my first post here, so apologies if I'm misposting)

      Yes Shakari,

      Had a lazy moment and decided not to have a through station diorama and having to build two fiddle yards. So , having used some of  the track layout from The Princetown Branch I`ve turned it all into a GWR Terminus. I`ve saved Sarsden halt platform to use again in the future.

       

      Cheers

      John
