Somerset & Dorset Railway OCTOBER VIDEO

[@Biggles-gm6tm]

This is such a magnificent layout, I never get tired of looking at it.

These video runs are magnificent bringing operational life back to the s&d

Thanks. The prime purpose has been to create a model of the real thing. Running prototype trains in a prototype setting to reflect the timetable of the late 50's

Green Park has two main platforms and a centre road, which I guess stabled some coaches on occasion. Was there anywhere else that stabled coaching stock, or did all trains in have balancing services out?

[@bathgreenpark2485]

4 sets were stored in the 2 centre roads over night to be ready for the morning services both to Bristol and down the S&D plus The 2 sidings beside the Midland shed were used for Stock storage as well on occasions.

Another great video. Interestingly my 9F has the same number as the one featured! looking forward to the next video.

Thanks. Already putting some video together.

Magnificent as always. Enjoyed the shunting too. Your knowledge of the area is obviously extensive. Might I ask...do you have a special connection with the area? I get the feeling it is somehow in your blood. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Bob

Thanks Bob. Yes grandparents in Poole hence being aware of the S&D at an early stage. My previous layout as Templecombe was always the stepping stone to modelling Bath Green Park. A life long ambition.

A life long ambition being brought to fruition in magnificent style. Always a pleasure to watch your progress and achievements. Bob
