That would be the new Worthy Farm station between West Pennard and Pylle. With special high-pressure showers and detox units. X marks the spot. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along with the Stonehenge Aerodrome. https://www.sarsen.org/2013/03/the-stonehenge-railway.html The station buildings are still there, at Druid's Lodge, from when it was used in WWII, to service the impending D Day troops around there, as is the track ballast through the wood, in which the station was concealed. As an aside, the huge railway gun, Boche Buster was taken to Druid's Lodge, to be fired at the ranges on Salisbury Plain. Nice scene for the Oxford 00 model of the gun. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you're really good we can put a loco and some rolling stock on the track! The family fun project comes with a generic 0-4-0 loco and two antique short wheelbase 4 wheel coaches, which just about fit the station supplied. The "expansion" pack is an LNER livery P2 and two maroon Mk1 coaches, none of which fit the station. At all.... Edited April 4, 2023 by Hroth extra emphasis, and what's a P4, for heavens sake??? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My father carefully pinned the track on my LoneStar 000 Electric layout to a board which was kept behind the settee and put on the dining room table for operating sessions. This all worked well until one Saturday I woke up early and set the railway up by myself. My parents were impressed by how quietly I done it but when my father removed the layout for breakfast there were a number of large scratches on the table! The table was a high quality one that had been given to my parents as a wedding present and they were very upset although they said they did not blame me. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
