An infrequent series of posts of inspirational images of scenes that may, or may not, find themselves incorporated onto the layout.
Once upon a time, I built a pretty well known Gn15 layout called
Purespring Watercress based on the Vitacress line in Bere Regis. It featured in NGIRM Review about 10 years ago and was seen at major train shows in the Midwest up until a few years ago.
About 4 years ago Michael Crofts (of Perrygrove) and I corresponded about the line, and as a result when I was in the UK visiting we, and our tolerant wives, walked the entire length of the line, on a beautiful summers day.
We had found a member of staff and asked if it was OK. The line wasn't working and there was no-one else about so it was fine. I have many, many pictures of this trip. The line is very dear to me.

| A bridge like this would be fun to model. |

| A second view of the bridge. It must be pretty scary to ride the train over that the first few times you do it. |
 |
| Some very overgrown track. |

| I can easily visualize this building being a centrepoint of a layout. I'm not sure if the Bedford and Jesty loco could be re-created in OO6.5 |

| What a gorgeous scene |
