Fen Drove
Fen Drove
O Gauge
Fen Drove was located on the Spalding and Wisbech Railway which opened in July 1868 but was then closed to passengers on the 28th of February 1959 and was then closed completely to goods on the 30th of April 1962 in the Beeching axe. There was not much at Fen Drove before the railway arrived and hopes for major traffic did not materialise so it remained a sleepy backwater for its entire existence.
The line was initially worked by the Midland Railway and became part of the M&GN system in 1893.
The layout is not set in a particular time period but stock from the 1900s, 1930s and 1950s from eight different company's ran on end to end runs and small shunting work.
The Buildings are adapted from the real examples found in the Fens.
