Lowleigh

Peter Harrison built an idyllic country through station called Lowleigh. Situated about halfway down a fictitious branch between Kidderminster and Brombury in Worcestershire.

He also released a series of YouTube videos, which can be accessed from: http://www.gwr.org.uk/layoutslowleigh.html.

"A day at Lowleigh Station" depicts all of the trains that call at the wayside passing station on a typical summer's day in 1957 when railways still served their local communities. It is fascinating just to see the traffic variety depicted. Freight is run with a purpose and Peter likes to justify every vehicle in the daily pick‐up goods train. This includes timber, cattle and coal. Wagons shunted at Lowleigh are fitted with Sprat and Winkle couplings, with a bar at one end and a hook at the other. With 6 magnets in the goods yard, shunting is hands free.

Peter's modelling skills are of a high order, recapturing a long bygone era.
