RMweb Premium Blobrick Posted August 24, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 24, 2019 I am sure like me, a few of the older RMweb members will remember seeing the attached Roy Link plan and lovely artwork from the Railway Modeller back in the late 70s or very early 80s. If l remember correctly the plan was based around a southern region branch terminus. Looking at the artwork, l ve been trying to work out which company, if any, it represents? To my eyes it looks like LSWR, but l am no expert, and therefore offer it to the more knowledgeable members to comment on. Bob C 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJCT Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 I picked up the September Railway Modeller just yesterday, and a preliminary look through that issue reveals an 00 gauge Southern Region layout named "Titherleigh" based on these plans.

AJCT Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Indeed. Now that I've had a more in-depth read of the article, I see the team have actually used a mirror-image version of the original along with a few other changes. Alasdair Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold JohnR Posted August 24, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 24, 2019 Yes, this was very much ex-LSWR, the idea being to use Minitrix Ivatt tanks ( as appeared on ex-lsw line in the early 50s). Interesting about the new layout bases on this, might have to pick up the September modeller Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
