Away with tired tropes in railway modelling

[34theletterbetweenB&D]

Much better than a cricket match on your layout, here's a football ground with something of interest to recommend it!

Ive heard a month or 2 ago this line has been shut for while because of disputes between the football ground and the railway of who owns that section of track and the ground's owner not letting them through

Apparently it's running again.

Quite an exaggeration to call that a stadium.

Correct though

 

stadium

/ˈsteɪdɪəm/

noun

noun: stadium; plural noun: stadia; plural noun: stadiums

1.

an athletic or sports ground with tiers of seats for spectators.

 

 

Which it has. Many British Non League clubs don't even have seating.

Actually, for a club to be in the non - league pyramid above step 6 (level 10) the ground grading regulations specify a certain amount of covered seating, depending which level you're at
