4mm/EM Gauge
Presented by Southampton Model Railway Society
Depicting a branch of the Great North of Scotland Railway to the village of Nether Kinmundy, some eight miles west of Peterhead, serving the needs of the region and a local RAF base, the branch has somehow survived into the 1960s. By the wintery period we are depicting the railway was living on borrowed time. For this exhibition it is intended to run stock portraying the period from the mid-1950s steam era through to the diesel era last few years until closure in the mid-1960s
Although a station that never existed in reality, the layout you will see here is still a carefully observed and crafted creation of an ex-Great North of Scotland Railway branch terminus, set in the twilight of its existence. Each structure was selected from prototypes in the same area, then combined and scratch-built to suit the location and the imagined history of the model.
The layout was acquired by the Southampton Model Railway Society early in 2019, having been on the exhibition circuit for a number of years, but seldom seen in the South. Please feel free to ask any questions on the layout or stock, we will try to answer them as best we can!
