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.

The Track Plan
The track plan for the layout closely follows the track plan which exists currently in real life. Until 1970 the junction at Poulton-le-Fylde also provided passenger services to Fleetwood and until 1999 freight services to the ICI plant at Burn Naze Halt. For operational interest the layout encapsulates the “What if” principle and allows both of these passenger and freight services to continue running to present day. This image details the extent of the layouts coverage of the station and the junction.
