A closer up view of the incomplete shed. The over thick corrugated plasticard will be less apparent once painted. I'll use the same techniques as on Cement Quay and Arne Wharf. Bull: the 'locotractor' was bought second hand from one of the Purbeck narrow gauge lines. It was built around an Austin 7 engine and the body work came from an old charabanc . True: in reality, it is scratchbuilt from plasticard based on some pics in a French narrow gauge mag and mounted onto a Kato Shortie chassis.

Catcott looking towards Edington Junction, 8 March 2008.Previous | NextThe Eclipse Peat Company gets a bagged peat transfer shed at Catcott Halt! The main reason for this was to justifiy a siding so close to Edington Junction and to disguise the entrance to the fiddle yard on the left. A bank of trees will sit between the shed and the backscene. The narrow gauge will feed in from the fiddle yard through the shed and kick back onto a slightly raised platform. The rails will be embedded deep into the ground and the whole area will be dusty and weed ridden (what else!). The 009 point is a copperclad one made in 1980, salvaged from Arne Wharf's predecessor.
