Dounreay - a 1970 Scottish Region micro terminus in H0 Scale

[cloggydog]

A few years ago I constructed a small terminus based loosely on Wick/Thurso in H0 scale. Set c1970 in the BR green/blue transition era. 

Baseboard is an Ikea Lack 110cm x 26cm shelf with a thin ply display box surround. Peco code 75 track, structures all scratchbuilt using a lot od Slaters embossed sheet and plasticard. 

Locos are 3D prints from Lincoln Locos on modded Roco mechanisms, stock is reworked ancient Lima, Fleischmann and Rivarossi rtr, plus some scratchbuilds. 

Featured in the March 2025 Railway Modeller, Dounreay has been exhibited around a dozen times so far. 

The choice of H0 scale was deliberate to encourage/force myself to do more modelling!

Fab. Think I have seen this in the wild! Ideal prototype for an Irish version too….

Thanks. My Irish H0 micro will be in a similar theme, more curved and 10cm longer and wider. I need to get that thread started.
