Uplyme

Uplyme is a 3mm scale model railway based on the Dorset seaside terminus at Lyme Regis. The period is set from the mid 1950s to just before the end of Southern steam. Even though Uplyme is not built to a gauge of 14.2mm but to the old 12 mm, it represents the best standards available in 3mm today. Most of the locomotives and rolling stock are built from 3mm Society kits or from other manufacturers kits sponsored by the Society.
