"BR sectorisation" refers to the reorganisation period starting in 1982 when British Rail restructured its operations into distinct sectors. Each sector was responsible for specific types of services, aiming to boost efficiency and accountability by decentralising management and operations. Here’s what you need to know:
Sectorisation offers you a vibrant and varied era to recreate. During this time, British Rail moved away from the standard blue and grey livery to more colourful and sector-specific schemes, making your layout visually striking and authentic.
By incorporating the distinctive liveries and branding of each sector, you can bring a new level of detail and realism to your model railway. Whether you prefer the speed of InterCity trains, the hustle of Network SouthEast, or the industrial might of Railfreight, BR sectorisation gives you plenty of exciting options to explore.
