Hello! I’m Alex Seal, the Operations Manager at the South Devon Railway, with two decades of experience as a Signalman. My current passion lies in American N scale modelling, particularly focusing on railroading in Northeast America, especially the Maine Central Mountain Subdivision. I also have a keen interest in British Railways, specifically the Western Region and the Somerset & Dorset Railway in the late 1950s, as well as the Deutsche Reichsbahn in East Germany during the 1980s.
This website serves as a platform for my thoughts and ideas, centring on these fascinating railways and signalling systems. The name is inspired by the Rhubarb Loop in Bristol, a location that, like many railway spots in the UK, is named after the nearest pub!
If you’re passionate about N-scale modelling or curious about railway operations, you’ve come to the right place! Expect a professional yet approachable tone with a dash of humour. Join me as we explore the captivating world of railway modelling and work together to enhance our skills.
I have divided the website into several sections:
