    Dunsford halt

    Time to give this a go this a halt on teign Valley railway that was a inland route from Exeter to Newton abbot by passing the sea wall route.
    I have actually visited this location but not much to be seen except for the bridge abutments.
    I can't quite make it exactly but challenge will be the halt is situated on the side of a hill with road passing under the bridge on a slope but here is what I have to start with.
    And the last picture it's what I will be trying to recreate
    Go to Google maps and search for Cotley Lane to see the area as it is today Click image for larger version

    Looks an interesting project Peter, I'm old enough to remember when the Dapol kits were made by Airfix, the fences were made of a plastic that no paint could stick to!

        Very nice idea Peter. Been through Dunsford many many times. South Devon & Dartmoor are Pauline's & my favorite.
        Had our honey moon (many moons ago) down that way.

        Very nice to see that the Exeter Okehampton railway will be restored soon. Great countryside.

            Hi Peter
            A very interesting, unusual idea for a model.

              Hi Peter with me being a big railway fan, a good Halt station diorama sounds like a great idea. :thumb2:
