In effect LSWR Torr Giffard will be Coleford jnc relocated to the scenery around Torrington giving the increased/variety of traffic benefit of Plymouth to Exeter LSWR services, as well as those between Ilfracombe/Barnstaple and Exeter. A theoretical Wenford bridge style branch on the Plymouth route west of Coleford jnc, requiring Beattie well tanks to work clay trains to Fremington quay via Coleford jnc and Barnstaple further adds to my motivation to complete this layout. The name Torr Giffard links the River Torridge with the geographically similar Weare Giffard in the double barrel name style typical of the area.
