Lewis Cree Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 (edited) As if I haven’t got enough on my plate, I’m introducing a new layout that I have taken ownership of. This is Birds Folly, built by Stewart Green. Birds Folly is the name given to the real location of a siding and Engine Shed built in the early part of the century by the Southwold Railway. This is its representation in 009. The shed consisted of a wooden frame with asbestos cladding on a concrete base. Today, the concrete base survives with its inspection pit and the remains of a well that provided a water supply for the engines. In the autumn of 2015 the Southwold Railway Society undertook work to clear the site and make the remains more visible and further restoration is still ongoing. The route of the track between the engine Shed and the Bridge is now a public footpath. Edited August 24, 2022 by Lewis Cree 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
