The Brockhampton & Umbridge Railway
Peter Butler built this outdoor railway in SM-32, taking the premise of a revived Welsh slate system, reborn as a preservation scheme, as its inspiration.

PLAN OF THE MONTH

SCALE DRAWINGS
Ruston & Hornsby 48DS
Tim Rayner provides some background on the class intended for the Whisky Galore plan; scale drawings by Bob Phelps are reproduced to 7mm scale.

A kit containing common objects found in any signal box, such as the comfy leather armchair, stove, token machines, desk, a shelf with various rule books lined up, a phone, a clock, and the most important items, the kettle and mug of tea.

Chassis kit include chassis weight, wheels, couplings and disc wheels.

This kit contains two barriers, open and closed, plus floodlights, CCTV and some palisade fencing, everything is included to make a convincing and practical feature for a warehouse or maintenance shed entrance. Using pre-coloured moulded plastic parts the kit is easy to build, and further painting will enhance the model too.

These finely detailed ready to run coaches and wagons are accurately modelled on the rolling stock of the Lynton and Barnstaple Railway, both as an independent railway and after its' absorption into the Southern railway in 1922. They are also available painted but unlettered for those modellers who wish to tailor them for use on other lines.

An ideal load for a conflat or haulage vehicle, or as an accessory in a station yard or factory. Once dubbed 'the suitcase of industry' these railway containers were the precursor of the modern container, allowing a contained load to be quickly unloaded or transhipped from rail to road transport. (Pack of 2).
