A personal philosophy
In order to be a modeller of railways there needs to be a model railway. It doesn't matter if it is a loft or an Ikea box, there has to be a railway, otherwise we are mere collectors of things in boxes.
Occasionally, a thought begins to become a concern, why build a model railway and why choose a particular subject? My obsession, for it is an obsession, is to create something relatable to me - a corner of a small Army camp in the hills of West Dorset.
The camp was a product of WW1 but busy during WW2 but placed into 'care and maintenance' in the '50s but retained for use by the Terrortorial Army, it was rail connected to the mainline for the transport of liquid fuels stored under a hill adjacent to the camp, the camp finally closed in '73. The layout is the rail discharge point and is effectively a secure compound within the main camp.
The moment when KGV inspected the Royal Loamshire Regiment in 1919 prior to their disbandment.
