The LBSCR in the 1860’s planned to extend their Chichester to Midhurst line to connect with the LSWR at Haslemere. In reality the line was never built, but this model is an interpretation of what could have been. Centred around the planned intermediate station at Stedham, it includes a junction between the LSWR and LBSC systems. The LBSC connection being electrified and served by services between Haslemere and Pulborough, the LSWR connection retains a rural atmosphere with services from Midhurst and Petersfield.

All of the trackwork is hand-built to the Society standard. Locomotives and rolling stock are typical of the locality, mostly from the Central Division of the Southern Region, and built from scratch or kits with a few modified Tri-ang items. Many of the Electric Multiple Units are made from Worsley Works etches and kits, and the buildings are made from scratch or have been modified from kits or proprietary items.
