The question is............can one fit a usable terminus into a 120cm x 40cm space.....


Yes, one can......

Depends what you mean by usable. For me the minimum usable terminus is Cyril Freezer's Minories, to paraphrase, it's got (colour) lights, coaches, action!

Morning all.

A second diminutive canine has been acquired for the Lambston branch.

These little chaps are quite jolly in their own little way and scamper about the place.

I think the key to Lambston is keeping things small and proportionate. This is also the challenge it presents in order to avoid a somewhat contrived look.

Game on I say....

I was going to ask if you found a copy of the W&U book but I suspect the recent influx of Rooters probably renders the question redundant.
The Abbey Road and Barton Bendish is about the smallest terminus I have found that works, 5' 6" by 15" in 7mm.

Hi Rob.

Nope, I didn't but if a copy comes up I will get it and add to the library.

And you are correct. The Terrier situation arises from the ashes.

As I have said I think a workable terminus is possible in 4ft without it looking too much like a cliché.

A few more Terrieresque photographs.

Thinking ahead to Taunton Rail - ex, I may well run part of Sunday utilising Terriers on Mutton instead of the usual Radials.

I think it would be quite jolly.

Evening all.

Not a great deal going on at present though I 'm hoping to start on Lambston quite soon.

To minimise cost, Lambston will use the same fiddle yard and fascia as Bleat Wharf so I think the build will be fairly quick.

I shall of course update on a regular basis.
