| Modelling the Past (No 3 Blyth) |
The Southwold Narrow Gauge Railway was opened in 1879 and closed in 1929. It ran between Halesworth and Southwold in Suffolk England and had intermediate stops at Wenhaston, Blythburgh and Walberswick. The three foot gauge track was eight and three quarters of a mile long and followed the line of the river Blyth. The rails were lifted and scrapped in 1941 to help the war effort.
Our friend Stewart Green has made three train layouts which show different aspects of the Southwold Railway and has regularly exhibited his brilliant models at shows in the UK including at the National Exhibition Centre.
If you are interested, why not go to see Stewart's models on display:
