Industries on the layout reflect the industrial heritage of this part of Somerset. Coal was mined till 1973. Ridler's Colliery is based on
Edford Colliery so would ship coal, coke, and briquettes to London. Limestone quarrying remains important but lime kilning has ceased.


Local goods are limited to a loading dock and lock up
