THE STORY

A closer look at Amberdale

Amberdale began as a project for British Railway Modelling. Its fictional village station sits on a single-track secondary route in Derbyshire, set during the 1960s.

Steam and diesel locomotives share the railway, with a varied programme of passenger and freight workings. Between trains, small scenic cameos give visitors more to discover. Photograph: Paul Bason.
