Great Shefford
4mm Finescale 'OO'
| Located just over 8 miles from Newbury, Great Shefford was
an intermediate stop on the Lambourn branch. The model depicts the station
and the surrounding landscape as it would have appeared circa 1935.

Buildings and line side features are all faithful
reproductions of the prototypes based on plans and photographs taken from
"The lambourn Branch" by Kevin Robertson & Roger Simmonds.
|
| The landscape is produced using the techniques demonstrated
by Barry Norman in Right Track 5 and 6 Modelling Landscapes. Track work
consists of C&L flexi track with Marcway points operated by Tortoise
motors. The layout is controlled by DCC via a ZTC 511 unit, supplemented
by one of their hand held controllers, which gives the operator freedom to
roam along the length of the layout.
