Postcard from Ashcombe (1) ...approaching the station from the west...
Lowleigh was, of course, closely based on Highley, Arley and the railways and trains of the Severn Valley and thereabouts. Moving south, the lines radiating from Wells in Somerset are the inspiration for Ashcombe.
The new layout is longer than Lowleigh, offering wider perspectives but progress is slow. Instead of waiting for the layout to be completed before filming, Julia and I have decided to offer a series of ‘Postcards from Ashcombe’ each featuring a completed section of the layout. We hope this new approach will provide enough interest and entertainment. Our first postcard looks at the western approach to Ashcombe station. Prairie tank 4560 heads an early morning 'up' service and Collett Goods 2260 passes with a 'down' freight.
Music featured on the video is ‘The Banks of Green Willow’ by George Butterworth performed by the English String Orchestra.

Well done Peter and Julia. Pleased to see a first edition of EM gauge Ashcombe, although I still go through all the past episodes of Lowleigh. I think I recognise Digitrains sound files in your locos as I`ve got them in my O Gauge stock.

Great that you are back

Good to see you back. I'm looking forward to more lineside adventures 👍✌️🤞💜
I love that over bridge it feels very; Lechlade, Fairford, Carterton. That right wing wall abutment area looks of the era too but maybe needs the Civil Engineer to cast his eye over it just to be sure🤔🤔😉
Charming music and voice over too👍✌️💜😊
I’d love to visit one day. Great Britain looks very beautiful and relaxing. Xx

Entertaining video. Just one thing - the distance signal is facing the wrong way! It should be the other way around with the ladder to the rear! The home signal, with a red arm would normally be immediately before the tunnel. Thanks for uploading.

Magical and enchanting as Lowleigh was, so good to see you back.

Lovely modeling Peter and great storytelling Julia, thank you both. Can't wait to see more of Ashcombe. Sad though Lowleigh is no more, Dr Beeching and his cuts
