On the other side of the room sits St Aldhelm, the end of the line. Tracks were laid last year, and the platforms and station buildings are currently under construction. Goods shed, signal box, engine shed and surrounding buildings will follow soon

An aerial shot of the station throat at St Aldhelm on my model railway. The platforms are under construction, some track has been altered and the turntable can be seen in the background. A look along the platform at St Aldhelm towards the stop blocks. Both platform and station building are under construction. A high view of the station building at St Aldhelm, still under construction and based on the one at Swanage in Dorset. Hornby’s model of Battle of Britain class locomotive 34070 Manston sits in the loco release and a rake of Pullman cars are seen in the siding in the background. A close up shot of the track work at St Aldhelm showing a kit-built point and point rodding built from ModelU3D components

I thought it was about time I introduced you to my layout, St Aldhelm and Talbothays, a fictitious branchline inspired by Swanage and Corfe Castle. First, Talbothays, the more developed part of the layout. Still very much a work in progress
An aerial view of pet of my model railway layout, Talbothays, with a SWR-liveried class 159 DMU in the platform and several preserved locos and rolling stock in the yard Another aerial view of Talbothays model railway layout showing the yard area and campsite in the distance An eye-level view of the platforms at Talbothays with a SWR class 159 DMU in the opposite platform, the unfinished station building to the left A view of Talbothays station showing the ”up starter” signal and my model of BR Battle of Britain class steam loco no34072, 257 Squadron starting its train towards the fiddle yard. The unfinished station building is seen in the background

Hello Bluesky. Been knocking around for a bit but thought I would offer something up. I won’t be posting much but when I do, expect cats, trains (big and small), Swedish treats and the occasional political comment
