Welcome to the Mablethorpe 00 Blog

Welcome to the Mablethorpe 00 Blog. This is my attempt at creating a 00 gauge replica layout of Mablethorpe Station. The era Im aiming for is pre 1948. The LNER era of the station.

I have 'played' with model railways as a child as my father was a keen builder and as I now have children they are keen to play train sets so a hobby has been revisited!

After building up a simple Hornby Trackmat layout I now want to build a 'proper model', trying to get it as realistic as possible to Mablethorpe station. This was made possible by the reams of information available online. Signal Box Diagrams, OS Maps etc.

Hope you enjoy the journey of me building the layout as much as I have fun building it!
