Darsham Road

[Jon19602007]

Hi Everyone

This idea came to me based on the nearest station (Darsham) and the fact that Darsham used to mean 'deer hamlet'. Probably still does. I have based it halfway between East Anglia and the West Midlands to fit in with the One Anglia 90 and coaches, and the London Midland 350 and 153 (Also the Wrexham and Shropshire)

The station itself is based on a mix of Darsham, Ipswich, and Shrewsbury, with good access to the loco shed, and two sidings used either by the mail train, excess coaches or pausing units.

 

 

A train of 5 mk3s sit in the down platform to measure the platform lengths

 

 

Now with the correct number of lines, 4 coaches line up to measure the platform length of the up while the newly acquired mail train sits in the down with no locomotive

 

 

The 31 sits in the shed. In the background you may be able to see the converted goods shed, which is now the bus depot, housing 3 double deckers (Volvo Alexander Stagecoach, Plaxton President, Wright Eclipse Network West Midlands)

 

I'm currently planning to have 3 pubs:

 

The Gatekeeper Inn, The Signalman, The Stag and Hind

 

Thanks for reading (and sorry about the long post)
