Monks Bay Comes to Mablethorpe
This Is One of the best exhibition model railway layouts in the UK
Welcome to the Cornish Riviera in the late '50's to early 60's. It's midsummer and the height of the holiday season. The sun is shining, as it always did in those days, and the railways are struggling to cope with the load. Not just passengers, but fruit, cereal crops, milk, beef and lamb's -- all form the backbone of the railway traffic. A look at the goods shed and yard confirms the regular flow of traffic in and out.
At the front of Monks Bay, you will see the busy harbour and the high street, the front of the town itself and the disused mine and quarry at the far end of the town are all part of the scene.
The army camp is still busy too with all sorts of WW2 equipment from various countries which was sent for evaluation alongside our own, and some of the American GI's are still here too.
You will see a whole variety of trains from the station platforms , some stop whilst others run straight through, and a regular trainspotter will see 17 different types of loco on the line. Monks Bay sees many engine changes as well as water stops and fitted and unfitted pickup goods trains are frequent visitors.
Local trains to Newquay and St Ives are regular callers in the station loop as holiday makers leave the mainline expresses here to connect to both those popular resorts.

IMG 0599 Louth Station part of Arboretum Valley model railway layout
MOV 0599 Louth Station is nowhere near the main shopping area, and although it survives today it is now in the middle of a house estate and has become flats. I have lifted it and placed it at the back of my version of Eastgate in Louth town centre, where many of the Skaledale buildings have their origins.
