Evenstow

Evenstow is a fictitious harbour/resort in North Devon, somewhere "beyond" Barnstaple. The time is the late

1920s /mid 1930s. Baseboards are plywood, with ground contours built up from expanded polystyrene, covered with

dish-cloth material as reinforcement, and coated with Artex. Scenic dressings are generally by Woodland Scenics; trees

are generally from Heki kits. The layout is to P4 standards, using steel rail, C&L and Exactoscale chairs, ply sleepers and

point timbers, laid on 3mm cork. Dummy point-rodding utilises Model Signal Engineering components, the rodding being

27 SWG piano wire. Facing point locks are scratch-built. Point and signal operation is by Hoffman motors, signals being

Ratio. Buildings are generally scratch-built from styrene sheet, augmented with kits where suitable are available. Locos

and rolling stock are a mixture of kit-based and ready to run, modified where appropriate, and with added detail. Couplings

are Alex Jackson, uncoupling being effected through just three strategically placed electro-magnets.

The sequence of operations is intended to represent a typical weekday at Evenstow.
