exhibition layout

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.

Rolling stock Several items of rolling stock have been specially built for the layout in order to enhance the scene, such as trains of Spitfires, torpedoes and bombs. These are made from Ratio bolster wagon kits or plain 5 plank opens and the bombs and planes added
