Southwark Bridge

Southwark Bridge is a fictitious BR Southern Region London terminal station from the late 1960’s through to the late 1970’s, drawing its inspiration from the history and layouts of Cannon Street and Holborn Viaduct Stations.

Almost all of the structures are of card construction. This is my first venture into DCC train operation. Trackwork is Peco streamline code 55. All points being operated with Seep motors through capacitor discharge units with push button route setting. The layout is fully signalled using CR Signals. Stock is a mixture of ready to run along with some modified Graham Farish carriages to represent the EPB (Electric) and Thumper (Diesel) stock that was the mainstay of the region throughout the period.

Lighting is via LED strip with an additional multi colour strip to enable us to change the mood.
