Based on the station which serves the market town of Poulton-le-Fylde, located on the Fylde coast, this new exhibition layout aims to provide both modelling ability as well as operational interest. Situated on the busy Blackpool North to Preston line, the station managed by Northern Rail, sees regular services from Manchester Piccadilly, York and Liverpool Lime street.

Poulton Junction
There has been focus on the signal box of late, so lets take a look at the reason the signal box exists, the junction at Poulton. The junction serves both Blackpool North and Fleetwood however the latter is now unused. Modelling license has been used to allow the Fleetwood line to be reopened to provide additional operational interest.

Signal Box Gets the Scenic Treatment
Continuing with work at the junction end of the layout, the signal box has received some much needed attention in the form of ground cover and greenery. Also added are a couple of relay cabinets as well as some scrap sleepers and rail.
The static grass is applied with one of the static puffer bottles instead of the expensive electronic version and I must say I am pleased with the results. The longer grasses are from the Woodland Scenic range and have been chopped to length.
