Bred Albin is fictitious, and is not a particular location, but ‘somewhere in West Perthshire’. It is set sometime back in the Sixties when a number of Scottish branch lines were served by a locomotive with just a single passenger coach. This seemed an ideal basis for a small cameo layout.

The station building is based upon the former station at Killin, while the combined signal box and signalman’s cottage is reminiscent of the one which was situated at Drumvaich on the former line between Dunblane and Callander.

The layout was featured in BRM in Jan 2025.
