Rolvenden

Rolvenden is a Colonel Stephens’ light railway. It is modelled in P4, and it represents the station of that name on the Kent and East Sussex Railway in the mid-1920s.

Using plans, drawing and photos I have done my best to accurately represent the site within the constraints of the space available. Outside of the station limits I have used modellers licence to bring some typical Kentish scenes, such as an Oast house, a Hop garden and a Windmill to the layout.

The layout and all the stock are all my own work and represent around 20 years work. Many of the trains run as mixed, putting off and shunting the sidings on their way through. The trains run from a cassette storage fiddle yard at the Robertsbridge end through to an automatic turntable at the Headcorn end.
