Members' Layouts - Westbridge (SR)

This layout is owned by Jeremy Everett, a Club member in the '0' Gauge section, but it is now unavailable for exhibition or display. Westbridge depcits a small station in the Southampton area featuring many of the last vestiges of steam operation prior to electrification and dieselisation and being primarily a yard, there is time for much shunting. Both steam in its final years and the newly introduced diesels operate the yard and there is a DEMU service on the single through line. The occasional visiting diesel type, which could be considered uncommon to the area, appears perhaps on test or working a short turn prior to returning to their usual operating base.
