MORWENSTOW RIVERSIDE

OO Gauge By Redruth MRC

 

This layout is Redruth MRC`s first attempt at a more professional exhibition layout, although fictitious, is based on North Cornwall, and named after "Morewenstowe" but spelt differently, being not far from the old LSWR branch line from Exeter to Padstow, with Meldon quarry at Okehampton being in between, when the Southern aquired the old LSWR, and were flush with money (ha ha) would build a branch to serve Morwenstow, and export ballast to the Republic of Ireland.

We built the layout as a scenic example of Cornwall as much as possible, although set as a modern image layout, like much of Cornwall time has stood still, with little change to many of the buildings, originally only 16ft long it is now exhibited in either 34ft or 46ft when you get two layouts for your money ! Stratton clay dries is our youth section layout and has been built so we can extend Morwenstow when space allows.
