BARUM WEST JCT scale 4mm/ft Gauge 18mm ('EM') by Ken Gibbons

Size: 8ft x 2ft (plus operator space), Operators: Two, Transport: One car.

The layout aims to depict in as small as space as possible, the gist of the installation that used to exist at the north west end of Barnstaple station during British Rails time. The trackplan is a very simplified version of the original, though by the late 1970’s, there was in real life no more, in fact less than there is on this small layout.  Basically, one end goes to Exeter, the line then splits into the Ilfracombe line, retained as  passenger only in our supposed location and era, and the Line that leads to Torrington and Meeth.  Again we’ve supposed a retained passenger service, but only as far as Torrington. Freight is mainly ball Clay and fertilizers, with the occasional lingering remnant of the once busy milk traffic.
