I love the pictures of what was once a very picturesque branch. Can't say I can place the bridge at the terminus. The only one I know near the station can be seen on the Plymouth road just outside the town, where they have now dressed it up a small halt. It's such a shame that this branch is not still open or saved for presentation. I look forward to seeing more of the model as it is built

Hi Nick I can't think of a more picturesque station to model. Have spent lots of time on the South Devon Railway. Anyway Clarks' Historical Survey of Selected Great Western Stations Vol 3 shows a plan of the station in 1914 with signal diagram.

Hi Gordon I have been following this thread for a while now and i am trully impressed with the amount of effort and detail you have put in to the project. I hope things start to pick up again after your hand has recovered. Backdrops can play such a large part in a layout and it pays to get this part of the model right. One layout on the circuit seems to have done this and I can only recommend you have a look at their website (http://www.009.cd2.com/members/how_to/backdrops.htm) for back scene ideas. I hope this will help you to incorporate the sort of scene you want for your railway. Best wishes Andy

What a fantastic find. This is one layout i will be watching with great interest. I love the idea of joining sections with biscuits. They make the joint as good as one sheet of wood. The 7mm scale stonework looks just right, 4mm would look to small for that situation. Keep up the great work and i look forward to future posting. Andy
