Stiffkey

 00, Eastern Region, 6 by 4 foot


Welcome to Stiffkey the terminus of a minor East Anglican branch due to fall to the Beeching Axe.
The layout is set in the late 1950s-early 1960s and is operated by a mix of late steam and early diesel.

Back ground
This has had to be adjusted so Stiffkey can fit into six foot

Railcar

Passenger services are largely run by a railcar








Mixed

The mixed is the last steam worked passenger train and is hauled by a J15

Mixed trains are much liked by modellers as they give good shunting opportunities

I suspect railway management and passengers are much less happy with mixed

Running round - up against the buffers



The mixed departs






Goods
 
The basic goods service is worked by a class 03

It runs to Stiffkey in the early morning, shunts, and departs in the late afternoon



The morning goods arrives and the 03 runs round

The 03 shunts the yard

Positioning the aggregate wagons

And moving them when required



Dropping off the coal wagon and vans for washed sand



The 03 departs


Additional goods trains are hauled by the J15

Running round

The J15 leaves with a full train

The 03 moves the wagons to McLeod's
