Shepherd's Quay

 00, Eastern Region, 8 by 4 foot



Welcome to Shepherds Quay a platform on a minor East Anglican branch due to fall to the Beeching Axe.
A platform is a staffed halt that handles parcels and mileage traffic.
The layout is set in the late 1950s-early 1960s and is operated by a mix of late steam and early diesel.
The name comes from Shepherd's Port between King's Lynn and Hunstanton though the layouts terrain is markedly bumpier.
