MORE ABOUT THIS LAYOUT

ALIWAL NORTH SAR LAYOUT

in HO-scale

This is my very first, small table top South African Railways HO layout at my home in Aliwal North, Republic of South Africa.
100% functional and complete.
Depicting the Aliwal North Railway Station, a small industrial area and farming community in Aliwal North, during the early seventies (1972), with charm and innocence, reminiscent of days and decades past.
