From one military railway modeller to another, Spot on that!!

That's excellent, I never understood the fascination with the inglenook configuration but that is absolutely spot on.
Did you build any of the rolling stock specially or was it pre-existing inventory?

Everything, locos and stock were built or obtained for this layout.  I have another stock box for my other 009 layout.

That must have been fun :) Did you have any particular reference guide?
My Grandfather was assigned to MOD Shoeburyness (Essex) during WW1 which was a gunnery school. Apparently there was a light railway there and I want to find out more abut it.

There are various books available, such as the Narrow Gauge at war books by Keith Taylorson only on the second hand market such as ebay.  There is also WDLR Album by Roy Link and the follow up WDLR Companion.  Various videos of WW1 trench railways on Youtube.

Thanks, I have been looking at he YouTube and ordered a book from the library. They have all been interesting especially as there didn't seem to be any overarching plan or common way of doing things.  I haven't found anything about Shoeburyness yet, but will keep looking, it might have to be a freelance idea.
