Averton Hammer, the 00 gauge railway is based on various sections of the old Somerset and Dorset Railway.
It was started in 2002 after seeing an article in 'Railway Modeller' which inspired me to create a railway running in the coutryside rather than how much track can I get in a minimal space!

There is a comprehensive roster of locomotives and rolling
stock, which is all controlled via the now adopted DCC digital system. Richard's wife Connie can be seen at the controls.
It was conceived as a railway running mostly in the open countryside and features a scale length viaduct.

It is wonderful to observe the faces of the young children admiring the detail of all the scenery and locomotives rushing by.
