Hackenbeck (RWS)/Behind the Scenes

Background Information
Hackenbeck is a fictional hamlet near Ffarquhar on the Island of Sodor created by the Reverend W. Awdry. It is served by a small halt on the Ffarquhar Branch Line.

Hackenbeck first appeared in The Railway Series book More About Thomas the Tank Engine, which was published in 1986. Its last appearance was in Thomas Comes Home, which was published in 1992.

Awdry's layout
Hackenbeck was featured as a small halt on the original Ffarquhar Branch layout. After the original layout was dismantled, the building would be reused on Awdry's Ulfstead Road layout as Cas-ny-Hawin.
