There is a DVD available showing Southdown and a selection of the garden lines from across the region, owners of which are members of our association and who assist in the running of Southdown. Proceeds from the film go to Wessex Heartbeat. It is available at the shows we attend or contact me if you would like a copy. The DVD costs £10.00.

Southdown was completely rebuilt for the 2005 season in order to make the baseboards lighter and more rigid (the original was 25 years old!). The track was renewed at the same time and the scenery completely refreshed, new features being mixed with the old. Below are some shots taken during the reconstruction, but click here to see more of the completed layout.
