The other Ribblehead Viaduct

Railway modellers will know of DCC Concepts. The company makes and sells everything to do with the hobby, and is at the forefront of the electronics - the unseen wizardry that has transformed model railways.

DCC Concepts was based in Australia, but has recently established itself in magnificent premises alongside Settle station. Unsurprisingly, the daddy of all model railways runs around its premises - indeed, through the walls.

The layout is there to test and demonstrate its products, but its most striking feature is an enormous replica of the Ribblehead Viaduct. It was built in Australia, is 18 feet long, and arrived in the UK by container.

It is still a work in progress, but is all the more fascinating for that. And it is ahead of the real thing, in that it has double tracks!
