Eccleston: P4 perfection

Martin Neald exhibited his Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway layout 'Eccleston' at Scaleforum in High Wycombe in September 2023. For those of you wondering which modern housing estate the old station site is buried under, it isn't!

As the map and history below explain, Martin has developed a freelance model of a branch terminus off the Preston - Liverpool line just south of Croston, with the junction facing Preston..
