1:76 micro commissions depicting a preserved Sussex branch, 1961-
Stock List
The quantity of stock has increased steadily in the years since opening - originally it was envisaged that a handful of locomotives would be sufficient to operate a weekend only service, however, trains became heavier and demand dictated that a midweek service be introduced in the summer months, which made more powerful additions necessary.
Ever since formation, acquisitions have been targeted for historical value as well as operational usefulness - the Nuthatch Line of the 21st century features locomotives, rolling stock and liveries from all eras up to and including the end of British Railways (BR) steam.
