Trelissick 7mm/O
The GWR had wanted to build a railway to St.Mawes, however this was never constructed, and instead to tap into the trade in this area they decided to build a small spur off the Truro to Falmouth branch to connect with the King Harry Ferry at Trelissick. All services originally had to run onto Falmouth before accessing the Trelissick branch. However, like many railway enhancements during the second world war the junction at Perranwell North was turned into a triangle, allowing trains that could not run direct from Truro.
Trelissick is a typical branch line station. One platform face is provided and can accommodate two coach trains along with two sidings. Most of the goods received in the yard here are usually transferred for onward travel to St Mawes and the Roseland Peninsula. The traffic is not high enough to merit the use of the whole station yard and to tap into the holiday market the GWR has a camping coach on the site. The model is set around the late 1960s to early 1960s.
