Popular Post PaulScott Posted November 6, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 6, 2018 This layout was originally envisaged as a running track for the owners collection of LMS models but the idea developed into a scenic layout with storage loops featuring an impression of Scout Green Level Crossing. It is not intended to be an exact copy just an attempt to convey the essence of the place as it was in the 1940s. A lonely level crossing on a main line in the middle of the moors. The layout was started in 2007 and took about 5 years to complete. It has been to several exhibitions in the North and has featured in the LNWR Society Journal and The 0 Gauge Guild Gazette. 29 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Londontram Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 It's beauty is its simplicity. There are days when I feel I should forget all the plans I've made and do something simple like this just to get stuff running. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poggy1165 Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 I like simple; more is less. Especially in 7mm scale where the actual locos and stock do the talking. How much would we all give to spend an afternoon at somewhere like Scout Green back in the glory days? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a girl before WW1 my Grandmother used to come home from school make sandwiches and take them to her father at Bourne End signal box towards the south end of the WCML, sitting on the box steps to eat her own. When I asked her about this she said that she thought that the engines were black, but that she had not taken much notice. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 I had just posted on my own layout thread about hunting for the site of this crossing. I went up there today with a friend and the memsahib on our motorcycles and parked up on Scotties Bridge to have a map read. Whilst looking for a picture of the signal box, I found your thread. This is the type of model that I have to revisit several times at an exhibition. It truly is a case of less is more and the prototype is an inspiration no matter what part of the country interests you. It occurred to me whilst we were up there that three vintage motorcycles on a model railway bridge would make a change from a model bus! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
