Evercreech Junction 4mm Finescale - sold in 1988.Previous | NextThere is a village called Fossebridge. It is a very small village in Gloucestershire, but it was passed by in the railway age and it never had a railway. However as is the want of many modellers we have taken licence, changed history, and given it one! Our Fossebridge is set in the late Twenties, early Thirties and is a thriving market town of some ten thousand people served by a branch line terminus, and supports among other things a dairy, a pub (of course, what else!) with the towns folk going about their daily work in the smithy, on the farms around the town, in the dairy etc Our railway as we see it at Fossebridge represents the Great Western Railway at its zenith, one might argue, and is often the case just before its fall. An organisation which filled the role of common carrier, as indeed did all railways of the day, willing and able to handle any kind of merchandise, raw material, stock; human and otherwise, from milk to coal, explosives to pigeons. The wonderful palmy days of steam, full employment on the railway and a public which could afford to travel and no leaves and no snow.
