 | | Lakeside Eastleigh
A collection covering this excellent railway at Eastleigh in Hampshire. For modellers of the miniature railway scene Lakeside provides some inspirational settings. However it is only fair to point out the day I went was a visiting engines day and therefore there was more active operational interest than on a normal running day.
Dual gauge - 10.25 and 7.5 inches.
Posted pictures cover stock and setting to provide ideas for a small roundy roundy layout to run N or OO locomotives but with a difference.

 | | Sand Hutton coach
This is a build sequence blog for a model railway coach I built in 2007. Scale 1:24 | Gauge OO (model) | Prototype 15" gauge.
It was the Mark 1 build and it will be replaced in due course with a Mark 2 version as several lessons were learnt.

 | | Seaton Trams
At this point the album contains one image only. Album is work in progresss and more images will be added in due course.
The Seaton Tramway (2ft 9") is a recommended place to visit for tram enthusiasts and bird watchers. If you are visiting the south coast this summer on holiday and staying between Exeter and Poole check out the X53 bus (Exeter - Weymouth - Poole) which passes the site.

 | | South Coast Steam Ltd, Portland, Dorset
Shots taken in 2003 and 2007 of South Coast Steam Ltd's yard on the Island of Portland, Dorset. A rare standard gauge prototype for a self contained model railway micro-layout which is also adaptable to other gauges.
NB All photographs were taken from external viewpoints, the site is NOT open access.

 | | Weymouth Miniature Railway
A visit to the Weymouth Miniature Railway on 29th May 2009. The line is 10.25 in gauge and runs in circle around the Lodmoor Country Park, Weymouth. Loco is a steam outline diesel locomotive.
Line has no independent website at the time of making this album.

 | | Wolds Way Lavender
I visited the site on 5th April 09 just before Easter 2009 and although it was open to the public the trains weren't running. The track would need some fettling before being used again. Interesting mixed use line with tripper runs in the summer and lavender harvesting in the autumn.
Posted pictures cover stock and setting to provide ideas for using this this line as basis for a micro' layout.
Would I go again? If the railway was running yes. However I had also visited the Lavender Farm nearby at Terrington the day before as my mother was searching for garden plants, and for just a visit as a day out the Terrrington site wins hands down.
