During RailEx Taunton 2023 I
During RailEx Taunton 2023 I had the opportunity to take-in one of Britain's finest model railways - Chilcompton Tunnel - Stephen Jones and his team's stunning recreation of this much photographed location on the legendary Somerset & Dorset Railway in OO.
The layout is a scale replica of the 1-in-55 climb between Midsomer Norton South and Chilcompton, with the iconic twin bore tunnel meticulously recreated in OO. The scene is a showcase for trains in the landscape - with visitors able to take in the models as they pass through the rolling Somerset hills.
Filmed in the style of the legendary railway photographer Ivo Peters, we see just a small selection of over 20 prototypical train formations as they tackle the challenging gradients of the Mendip Hills edited with real sound. Sounds are provided by a number of prototypical and similar locomotives from my collection, captured at various Gala and Preserved Railways over the past few years.
Trains as featured:
0:18 - Fowler 4F Class 0-6-0, No.44447 pilots West Country Class 4-6-2, No.34091 'Weymouth' on a South bound express.
1:18 - Stanier 8F 2-8-0, No.48773 heads North with a Pigeon Special, whilst GWR interloper Collett 2251 Class 0-6-0, No.3210 emerges from Chilcompton Tunnel with the stopping service to Templecombe.
2:44 - Fowler 4F Class 0-6-0, No. 44331 makes a powered accent of the Mendip hills on a stopping goods.
3:28 - S&DJR 7F Class 2-8-0, No.53806 makes a spirited getaway from Chilcompton with a rake of empties bound for Radstock.
4:18 - BR Std 9F 2-10-0, No.92220 'Evening Star' heads South with the 'Pines Express', as BR Std 5MT 4-6-0, No.73082 coasts toward Bath with a fertilizer train.
Hope you enjoy!
