MIDFORD
2mm/N Gauge
Presented by Shepton & District Model Railway Society
Situated south of Bath, on the Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway, Midford was the point at which the single line was doubled to run southwards. The line crossed the Camerton branch (WR), the road, the stream and remains of the canal on an impressive viaduct.
This large model was given to the club by the Chester Area Group of the N Gauge Society. It had previously been their exhibition layout and displayed widely in England for the South West!
This is Shepton Club’s first venture into N gauge, but several members model in this scale, some being members of the N Gauge Society.
Currently we are working on scenic details, new trees, building repairs etc. and new backscenes. Work on the track continues and new signals are being made, hopefully these will be working when installed.
The hidden parts of the WR section have been rebuilt and it is now working.
Most of the rolling stock used is from members’ private collections, augmented by some new stock recently purchased by the club.
