This represents a typical small town on the Sotovento, or leeward coast in the south of Portugal. In this region the railway traverses the wetland, between the sea and the mountains.

Portuguese railway rolling stock has been purchased from various international manufacturers. Similarly the models have come from a number of sources, all being repainted in the correct livery. Some have been scratch built, using proprietary chassis and mechanisms.

Buildings have been scratch built, all are based upon prototypes drawn or photographed in the region. Some architectural drawings were supplied by the Camara Municipal do Faro.
