THE FISKERTON LIGHT RAILWAY

The first bit of Terry Pearse's railway that you get to see is the terminus which is near to the house and uses a turntable to turn and release incoming locos from their trains.

The MDLR's Lady Sybil waits to depart.

The branch then curves through 90 degrees.......

........before running down...............

..........to the triangular junction........

............ and joining the main line. Thus far, the line has been contained within dwarf walls............

........... but now the main construction method reveals itself! Notice there is NO plywood WHATSOEVER!

You then arrive at the "far" station..............

............... which has echoes of the Great Central, with the central island platform accessed from below.

There are some sidings here................

........ but the large steaming-up area is inside the main circuit............

..........which continues round to Fiskerton station, from whence it's possible to take the other arm of the triangular junction to go back up the branch to where you started from......................

........... or just keep going round, as Lady Sybil did.
