Anchwood Improvements

Just to show that there has been work done on the railway, here are some photos of the improvements that have been made to Anchwood, the little terminus at the end of the branch line from Gunnmere Junction.

A back scene has been added here, which is an immediate improvement to the blue wall that was the previous background.

Some trees, hedging and bushes have also been added to make it appear a bit more rural.

In these photos, a Class 108 DMU waits to depart from the station's only platform. This being the usual motive power for the branch line.

Indeed so rural, now, is this station that the gents toilet is one without a roof. 

That is fine on a day like today, when the sun is shining but, when it rains!

The ladies toilet, meanwhile, is attached to the Ticket Office / Waiting Room.

Now, why is that man holding the door open?

Ah, I see - there, emerging from within, is a BR Class 4MT, about to haul a special, no doubt.

Meanwhile, at Gunnmere Junction, we see a Class 37 departing with a rake of GUVs.
