Railscot is an incredible resource for lovers of Scottish Railways. This massive collection of information and photographs is taking up far too much of my time recently as I peruse and research the details for my own planned early 1980's model railway.

My first desire was to attempt to create a scale model of Kyle in three sections but I am now thinking more of something 'based on' this location which would give me a little more modellers license and also not open me up to too much scrutiny over my modelling skills!!

To be honest, I love the research and the history as much as the modelling itself, I have always loved planning to plan and procrastinating too much rather than simply 'getting on with it'!

At least the plans are now getting down on paper for a sectional layout and I am making some progress with the planning stages!

This photo is looking down towards the station and pier in 1989 from besides the signalbox.......ahh those were the days!!
