Ullapool O (7mm=1ft) 15ft by 3ft -Ian Atkinson and Chris towers (Formally owned by Ian Futers)

This 7mm layout depicts what a Highland Railway branch line between Garve, on the Kyle line, and Ullapool, by the shores of Loch Broom, may have look like, had the line been built in the 1890s. It is assumed the line stayed open until the period modelled in the 1970s – 80s. The structures are all based on prototypes. Operation of the line is in the main, BRCW Type 2 motive power with timber and fish traffic somehow still surviving, whilst a mediocre passenger service links Ullapool with Dingwall and Inverness.
