Description based on material supplied by the layout owner
Pallet Lane The layout is so named as the baseboards started life as two forklift pallets and is an imaginary BR station set on an urban branch line around 1977. The layout is not set in any particular city and changes based around the stock and vehicles on display, but the inspiration for the layout came from childhood memories of travelling on the Severn Beach line in Bristol. The line previously continued beyond Pallet Lane but was truncated as part of the Beeching cuts, the freight terminals keeping the line just viable. The small station still sees a regular passenger service, usually a one or two car DMU, as there are a number of large factories in the Pallet Lane area. Freight interest comes from small oil and cement terminals in close proximity to the station. | ![]() ![]() |
