Stowmarket is a small market town situated in Suffolk, England, on the busy A14 trunk road between Bury St Edmunds to the west and Ipswich to the southeast. The town is on the main railway line between London and Norwich, and has an approximate population of 19,000. It is the largest town in the Mid Suffolk district and is represented in parliament by the MP for Bury St Edmunds, currently David Ruffley. Stowmarket lies on the River Gipping, which is joined by its tributary, the River Rat, to the south of the town.

The town takes its name from the Anglo-Saxon word ‘Stow’ meaning ‘principal place’, and was granted a market charter in 1347 by Edward III. A bi-weekly market is still held there today on Thursday and Saturday.

A short video showing some of the more complete areas of the route I'm currently building in Railworks. We start off at Great Yarmouth, with a Class 47 running around an NXEA service. We then ride in the cab of the 47 as it passing Whitlingham Junction, where the line from Sheringham converges, all the way into Norwich station; passing Crown Point TMD on the way. Afterward, we're in the cab of a Class 66 at the head of a container freight as it passes through Colchester station. Then we watch an NXEA Class 86 loco hauled service pass over the River Stour at Cattawade, and watch it arrive at Manningtree station. We then watch the Network Rail NMT emerge from Ipswich Tunnel, before riding in the cab between Ipswich at Stowmarket. All parts are still work in progress. And sorry about the poor frame rate in parts of the video. Must upgrade from the laptop!
