Ditcheat Junction is the next layout in construction for Devon Model Railways group.
Ditcheat Junction is a fictional location based on the Berks & Hants route between Taunton & Westbury generally operating in the late 2010s and early 2020s.
The track layout is similar to that seen at Castle Cary, with a passenger branch line, and two mainline platforms. The era and location gives us plenty of flexibility of stock to run! We have plenty of different FGW / GWR HSTs and a few IETs as we are based in the crossover era. Plenty of freight rolls through the station and you might even see an occasional rail tour or Network Rail inspection train passing through.
The layout is built on laser cut baseboards from the Grange and Hodder range with some adaptations to suit our needs.
Although Ditcheat Junction is currently a work in progress it is anticipated the layout will be on the exhibition circuit towards the end of 2025.
The size of the layout end to end is 6m and 2.5m in width with an operating area in the centre.
