Edenbridge Town

Edenbridge Town 4mm OO

Built by the LBSCR as part of the Oxted and Groombridge railway, Edenbridge Town station in Kent was opened in 1888 eventually having trains to and from London, Tunbridge Wells West, Brighton and Eastbourne. With the closure of the line beyond Uckfield (1969) and Tunbridge Wells West (1985) Edenbridge now serves only stations to Uckfield and London.  LBSCR built Edenbridge station in a classical style architecture with polychrome brickwork and it included a 90 foot Goods shed and wagon weighing scales within the goods yard.

Edenbridge Town, as modelled, is a 00 Gauge DCC layout loosely set in the SR  period just pre-war with Olive green livery or post war with sunshine black/Early BR. All buildings are scratch built based on the originals and are fitted with internal furnishings, DCC controlled working lighting and fireplaces.  Point work is DCC controlled via servo’s as is the working yard crane.  A lighting board enables sunrise, daytime, sunset and moonlight settings.  A DCC controlled sound board provides background atmospheric sounds.
