Magical Railway.
The magical railway that took 63 years to arrive! Dedicated hobbyist finally completes detailed model of busy market town... after starting the project in 1959
Welcome to the imaginary landscape of Amberdale and the railway and rivers which run through it. Set in the 1890s, retired engineer Philip Harvey has finally finished creating it - 63 years after he began. He started making it in 1959, squeezed into the caravan he lived in while working as a site engineer. In 1966, after marrying Caroline and moving into a house, he was 'allowed to put the model in a room of its own', he said. 'Then, 25 years ago, we moved into our current house and converted the garage into a room for it. I'm lucky as I don't have to put it away every time I've finished with it.' The 27ft long model curves around the 14ft by 10ft room in their North Yorkshire home. Ambleden, the market town, is at the end of the railway line. From there, the line crosses a canal and then a viaduct, before running into the village of Broad Hambury, with its pub, the White Swan, church, forge, village shop and thatched cottages.
