The second recent change at Maeport was due to a very severe storm , when half of the cliff and surrounding farmland at the entrance to the harbour was washed away ! The GWR took advantage of this and purchased the land from the local farmer who had no further use for it. The site was levied and a loco shed, coaling facility and turntable are now being constructed.

The new turntable in place, based on a modified Finecast kit

The turntable is a South Eastern Finecast kit. It has a vac-formed well and bridge supports and the track base is a piece of Paxalin. I had to strengthen them all with quite thick Plasticard to ensure they were sufficiently rigid.
