Bowcombe

By Nic Arthur. Bowcombe is a fictious station set in 1930s Devon, connecting the town of Kingsbridge to Slapton Sands. The layout features a through station with goods sidings serving the local village of Bowcombe. Although fictional, the area would have been just right for a narrow gauge line to take tourists down to Slapton Sands, as well as collecting marble, quarry stone, oak and grain, all produced within the area. The railway company is the Frogmore Light Railway (FLR) and the next station along from Bowcombe would, in my mind, be Frogmore. The layout runs mainly small locos and stock to a gauge of 2ft 3inches. It features a through fiddle yard at the rear and the layout is DCC operated.
