- Warrington MRC The
year is 1943 and Britain is at war with Germany.
Under wartime emergency
conditions all station names have been removed, to cause
the maximum amount of confusion to the enemy paratroopers
(who were expected to drop from the skies at any moment
disguised as nuns) and as a consequence, also confusing
passengers, officials and the lines management.
Somewhere in North Wales
(I'm sorry, we can't tell you where, there's a war on you
know!) there is a line-fach (small railway) doing its
best to help the war effort against the enemy the
Germans, not the English for once). The line has received
a major boost in traffic from the new mysterious military
building, rumoured to have something to do with
explosives. All the locals know for sure is that it
receives many trains of military supplies.
This little junction on
its main line, with the branch line going off to
Llan(censored) is like many other narrow gauge lines,
alternating between absolute quiet and complete mayhem.
This model was built by
members of the Warrington Railway Club.
The line is, of course,
fictitious although some items of rolling stock may be
identifiable. These of course have been transferred from
their proper homes to assist with the war effort ...
(well, that's our excuse!).
The layout operators are
drawn from a pool of the following members: Dai Jones the
Ballast; Dai Jones the Station; Dai Jones the Signals;
Dai Jones the Electric; Dai Jones the Driver; Dai Jones
the Railcar. Also hidden on the model is Jones the Spy!
