Bowcombe – Farnham & District Model Railway Club’s OO9 Open Day 2025

Bowcombe by Nic Arthur – An OO9 Layout at the Farnham & District Model Railway Club’s OO9 Open Day 6th July 2025

Bowcombe is a fictional station set in the 1930s of South Devon connecting the town of Kingsbridge to Slapton Sands. The layout features a through station with goods sidings serving the local village of Bowcombe. Although fictional, the area would have been just right for a narrow gauge line to take tourists down to Slapton Sands as well as collecting marble, quarry stone, oak and grain all produced within the area. The railway company is the Frogmore light railway (FLR) and the next station along from Bowcombe in my mind would have been Frogmore. The layout runs mainly small locos and stock to a gauge of 2ft 3 inches. It features a through fiddle yard at the rear of the layout and is DCC operated.
