Seagle Bay in N-Gauge: Influences

The beginnings

Seagle Bay is a small northern coastal town not far from the Scottish border.

Set in the late 1950s/early1960s, this fictional town is at a bit of a crossroads.

The fishing is dying out and coal no longer forms a large part of its work.

It has various advantages;
Along from this scene it has a lovely coastline where birds and seals can be spotted (it is rumoured that sea eagles have been seen!). The tourist trade has kept the town going.

Another is that it is on the North-South mainline and having been historically a refreshment stop, it still has regular stops by express trains.

There are troubling times ahead and Seagle Bay hopes to survive with some changes. No doubt the port will be closed, left derelict for years until turned into expensive "waterfront apartments"
