Brean

[class25]

Brean is based on Rodney Hall’s Llanastr, a layout I saw back in 1985 in The Model Railway Journal. I have modelled BR blue since 1979 and my first layout was based around Ian Futer’s original Lochside. 
A change in use of rooms saw my downstairs US muse packed away but I was a new room with an 8 foot run. I prefer small layouts. A quick acquisition of some IKEA floating shelves and a visit to the school skip sorted out the timber. Brean was born. 
The conceit is simple; trains from the Mainline arrive in the well known holiday resort of Brean.
However the line is the junction for a thriving deep water port and all manner of trains I saw during my halcyon spotting days 1978 to 81 can be seen.
