Tamerton Foliot was a station on the LSWR Waterloo-Plymouth main line just north of Plymouth, at the mouth of a tidal creek where the rivers Tamar and Tavy join.

A short branch to the village 2 miles away was planned but never built.

Passenger demand was thus minimal and the village didn’t grow with commuter traffic, unlike the villages on the line to Okehampton further north.

In this reimagined scene, the branch was built as a narrow gauge light railway, predominantly for passengers until the motor bus took over.

The model has two connected scenes: a village with adjacent harbour (much grander than reality: the village lies at the end of a tidal creek which is mostly mud flats), and a junction with the standard gauge main line (here reduced to a single line branch).

Freight is served by a transfer yard at the junction; the main exports were rabbits and strawberries to London, so handling facilities are basic.

The 009 model is set in the 1920s around the time of Grouping.
