The basis for this model railway layout is the station complex at Crewkerne in Somerset. However, It would not be right to name the model railway after Crewkerne because it is far from a faithful reproduction. Crewkerne station is in fact some distance from the town that gave it its name. It is nearer to the village of Misterton so, that is the name taken for the model railway layout.

This is a through station complex measuring 12ft x 2ft. At some point in the scene it is necessary to disguise where the railway line runs 'off stage'. This is achieved convincingly with the raised landscape at each end of the model railway layout. Further more Crewkerne Station has a road bridge that cuts across the platforms. This is exploited on the model railway layout to provide the scenic break at the Exeter end. We have to use our imagination to believe that the platforms continue on the other side of the bridge. At the London end the railway line disappears into a cutting. The use of trees helps to smooth over what is a severe break in the scenery.

The track plan is shown below.
