James, the Bluebell Railway is, IIRC, the first preserved standard gauge railway in Great Britain and most certainly one of the best known also outside of the UK. They have a number of smaller, but also larger steam engines in service and only recently were able to extend. Modeling the Bluebell Railway is certainly a rewarding project! Here is what you can do to get a start. Visit the Bluebell Railway home page and other sourcers for detail information. There is tons of info available online. Check the track plan using the following link: <a href="http://www.openrailwaymap.org/" target="_blank">OpenRailwayMap  </a>Type in the station name, select signalling and you will get the track plan including signalling. Watch videos of the Bluebell railway. There are plenty available on Youtube. You will get a feeling for the operation, bust also the setting of this line. With all that info digested, you should be able to sketch out a first idea of a track plan for your layout! Have fun! <iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/t_aiRcfRQXE" width="425" height="350"></iframe>
