Thornham Bay

   The Thornham Bay Light Railway was originally set up to transport fish from the seaside village of Thornham Bay to either the canals at King's Landing or the main line at Thornham, before it linked to other types of manufacturing later in it's history. At this point in the life of the railway, the fishing industry is in decline and the terminus sees more tourist traffic, than actual produce transportation, which has kept the end of the line open.

   

   On the modelling side, the Thornham Bay Light Railway is spread across two locations. The bulk of the layout is at my parent's, while I had always planned to build a small terminus at mine and it has taken a good few years of starting to build something before taking it apart to start again. The layout is unfinished (I still have a backscene to come for example) but it's at a point where I thought it would be good to start blogging about it now.

   The layout is a simple line with an extra siding at the end and a passing loop in the middle, with the track on a curve to get a useful train size into each part of the layout.

 

 

There is still a lot of work to do, but I'm pleased with where it stands at the sec. I aim to do another update soon as the layout continues to advance.
