Although fictional, is an attempt to capture the flavour of the Golden Valley line between Stroud and Swindon. The period is Summer 1964 and traffic is typical of that period, although various motive power oddities may appear, so be prepared for surprises!
The Doe Lea branch is a mothballed railway in Derbyshire, connecting Bolsover and Chesterfield to Mansfield in Nottinghamshire.the layout represents rather than copying Doe Lea station and shows how a simple and effective layout can be created in a small space - the scenic area measures 3 feet in length with a storage yard only one foot long. The layout is digitally controlled with uncoupling by magnets and point controlled manually from behind.
