2mm/2mm FS

Corrieshalloch is a fictitious passing station on the projected but never constructed Highland Railway line from Garve to Ullapool in northwest Scotland. The station is squeezed between the main Garve to Ullapool Road (now A835) and the Droma River, just south of the scenic Corrieshalloch Gorge. Interestingly, the local Braemore estate was purchased in 1857 by John Fowler, who went on to become chief engineer for the Forth Rail Bridge. Although the layout is modest in size (built to fit in a small car), I have tried to capture the expansive, open feel of the Highland by modelling only half of the station. It is set in the years prior to the First World War and uses primarily scratch-built locomotives and stock (many using my own etches). Feel free to ask me about 2mm Finescale standards and how to join the 2mm Scale Association.
