Introduction

Hallatrow was a station on the Great Western's Bristol & North Somerset (B&NS) branch which ran from Bristol North Somerset Junction to Frome through the North Somerset Coalfield.

My model of Hallatrow was built as an entry in the Scalefour Society's 18.83 Layout Challenge.

The Challenge, set at Scaleforum 2002, was to design and built a layout to P4 standards with a total layout foot print of no more than 18.83 sq. ft. The designs were to in by the following Scaleforum, in September 2003. A progress report was required the following September and the "finished" layouts to be exhibited at Scaleforum 2005.

Of the 50 designs submitted, 25 were finally exhibited at Scaleforum 2005. If you want to see all the designs plus photos of those exhibited at Scaleforum follow the link to the Challenge page on the Scalefour Society's web site.
