Inspired Railway Modelling Scene of the Week

A different scene every week.

One of the great joys for me is to recreate and photograph prototypical scenes on my model railway. Engine smoke/steam effects have been added to the photograph of the model, where appropriate. Apart from that they are true images of the model.

This week it is Swanage Loco Yard in 1958.

The Prototype:
