MUCH MURKLE
00, GWR
Layout Details
Scale:
4mm/ft 00 gauge
Setting:
GWR 1930’s Herefordshire
Much Murkle; population 1452 according to the 1931 census is set in a fictitious
1930’s community in Herefordshire and is served by a single track branch from the
equally fictitious junction at Newent on the Gloucester to Hereford Line.
The branch is just 8 miles long, with one intermediate station at the village of Kempstone
and a small halt serving Sollers Hall.
There is a rail served Quarry located approximately 1 mile outside of Much Murkle. All
trains departing the quarry have to be reversed at the terminus due to the quarry having
no run round facility making for more interesting stock movements.
The quarry is not the only significant industry using the line. Rancoutt Cider use the
branch to distribute their fine cider and perry to the outside world and vans from all of
the big four rail companies can be found in their sidings.
MUCH MURKLE featured in the July 2012 issue 61 of Hornby Magazine and
attended its first exhibition at Cradley Heath in Oct 2013
