The layout is completely fictitious and is based somewhere
along the North Devon or Cornwall coast. The low level is
operated by the Southern Railway and the high level is
operated by the Great Western Railway.
The period modelled is 1944 in the lead up to the D-Day
landings. The layout has many features such as bomb
damage, blanked out station names and anti-aircraft
positions. There is a dog fight depicted on the backscenes
between RAF Spitfires and German fighter planes.
