joppyuk1 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Many years ago a gent named Alex Bowie was very productive in producing track plans, He had them published in Model Railway Constructor, Model Railway News and Airfix Magazine throughout the mid to late 1960s. Amongst them was a short series on his own line "The Cowbell Line", and although I've tracked down what I think are all the articles on its design I can't find anything about it getting built. I'd love to see some photos if there are any, has any long-winded reader on here got anything in their old files? Or even an index of his various trackplans? Thanks for reading, here's hoping.

joppyuk1 Posted January 11, 2021 Author Share Posted January 11, 2021 Slight edit, he must have done some work, as there's a photo of the station building on the cover of one of the MRC's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
