I had a layout many years ago that would have linked Seaford to Eastbourne via a coastal route, emerging from a tunnel close to the "Golden Galleon" inn and going back into a tunnel by Exceat farm, there would have been a mineral siding at Exceat Station served by the old mineral line that came up from Cuckmere Haven, with a narrow gauge branch serving Litlington, Lullington and Alfriston and Drusillas terminating at Berwick Station, it would have cost a lot of money to build in real life, but that is what our dreams are for :-) I spent a lot of my childhood holidays in that area staying with an "Aunt & Uncle" in Litlington village.

Hi dseagull,
I had a layout many years ago that would have linked Seaford to Eastbourne via a coastal route, emerging from a tunnel close to the "Golden Galleon" inn and going back into a tunnel by Exceat farm, there would have been a mineral siding at Exceat Station served by the old mineral line that came up from Cuckmere Haven, with a narrow gauge branch serving Litlington, Lullington and Alfriston and Drusillas terminating at Berwick Station, it would have cost a lot of money to build in real life, but that is what our dreams are for :-) I spent a lot of my childhood holidays in that area staying with an "Aunt & Uncle" in Litlington village.
