This Scalefour layout is an attempt to portray what might have been. Structures are mostly built in card and plastic sheet and are based on those that existed locally. Locomotives and stock are ready to run, kit or scratch built to represent those seen in north and east Lincolnshire.

Currently being extended and re-modelled will be ready for the 2010 Exhibitions

The Louth and East Coast Railway was granted powers to build a branch from Saltfleetby to Saltfleet and North Somercotes when the line from Louth to Mablethorpe was authorised in 1864. In the 1890s the Saltfleetby Light Railway also promoted a line from Cleethorpes to Saltfleetby. Neither of these lines were built but it is possible that Saltfleet could have grown in size and with rail links to the haven may have become a focal point for these lines operated jointly by the GCR and GNR.
