West Lulworth Railway Wikia



Welcome to the West Lulworth Railway Wiki
The West Lulworth Railway (WLR) is an 0-gauge model railway project based in Sussex, England. The line is based upon a fictional extension to the Somerset and Dorset Railway, running as a branch line from near Worgret Junction down to West Lulworth (Lulworth Cove) via Cridlington Halt and Winfrith Newburgh. The line is approximately a scale 6 miles long. Train services are hauled predominantly by steam locomotives, regularly supplemented by a diesel multiple unit and diesel locomotive hauled trains.

The layout is operated as anything from the 1960's up to a preservation effort in the present day. Stock being mainly from the later British Railways era, whereas most Diesels wear BR blue liveries or later. All stations are modelled in BR colours of the Southern Region. The operation of the layout itself is using a Lenz DCC system on a finescale stud contact pickup method.

The layout also boasts an electrically interlocked signalling system using both Semaphore and colour light signalling and includes instruments used in signal boxes around the south or England, most notably some repeaters from Seaford, East Sussex.
