Scale:2mm/ft, size 7ft by 6ft (3.6m by 0.9m)
This layout is N gauge which
is 2mm to the foot and the dimensions are 7ft by 6ft.
It is a modern image layout built by Kath with her husband
Mikes help. It is not based anywhere in particular, you will see freight dn
passenger plus the odd steam special (please ask if you wouyld like to see the
steam special).
The layout was
extended in 1998.1999 by putting 3feet on the back of it so that the fiddle yard
was much bigger and we revamped the some of the scenery and replaced some of the
buildings. This year we have abolished the station and put in a freight yard.
Please feel to ask about the layout and stock.

Ashleigh is a fictional town
situated in the commuter belt of the Network Southeast sector of British Rail.
The period modelled is 1985 to 1990, which gives the opportunity to display many
of the liveries that could be seen at the time, from Blue/Grey and "Jaffacake"
through to the Network Southeast livery of the various Units, plus many
variations of Blue, Grey and Triple Grey, Intercity and others.
The layout
shows the station area, a heavily used stone terminal and a loco service point,
while the front features some fine allotments.
The buildings are mostly
scratchbuilt from polystyrene and clear acrylic sheet. The station is based on Snodland, whilst most of the other buildings are pure fiction, albeit based on
the layout owner's many years experience in the building trade.
The
backscene depicts an industrial estate which, in true tradition, has been built
on the site of the old railway goods yard.
Track is EM gauge SMP with
hand-built point and crossing work, the outside third rail being made from
lengths of PECO rail mounted on PECO insulators.

Behind the British lines 009 - 1918 northern
France - Darrell Foxwell Leeds
12ft by 3ft front view
By 1918 a complex web of narrow gauge railways provided
the means by which troops the materials of war were sent to the front line and
the wounded taken back to hostpitals.
The layout is based on photographs at the time published
by plateway press. The layout was designed and built be Darrell Foxwell and the
locos and rolling stock + loads were reserched and built by Roy Hirst
For
added interest the latout is shown with burning buildings, smoke and the sound
of artillery fire. Also available are photos of the layout at night lit by
flares and gubfire. We do not try to gloryfy war, rather we show the area behind
the lines where soldiers worked to support there comrades in the trenches.
Bodmin (N)
Originally the line was used for the carriage of china
clay from Wenford Bridge Branch reversing at Bodmin and onto the docks at Fowey
via the main line junction at Bodmin Road. This, together with some 18 passenger
workings daily and local pickup goods means that it was a busy station as all
traffic from the main line to Wenford Bridge and beyond had to reverse direction
at Bodmin. Also the clay trains, due to the gradients, were split for movements
between Bodmin and the clay works
We have attempted to
represent these workings along with the quite intensive passenger traffic that
took place in the 1930’s although we are using a larger variety of motive power
than was originally used. There has,
inevitably, been some compression in the station area and considerably more
between the bridges. The layout is constructed using 6mm ply and 20mm softwood
box beams with an insulation board top surface.
The legs and struts are made from aluminum box and flat sections riveted
together and permanently hinged for quick assembly. Trackwork is all Peco
finescale but with the crossovers shortened to bring the tracks nearer to a
scale 6ft way and all frogs extended to prevent wheels dropping in the gaps and
thus give smoother running. All points are powered by SEEP point motors and the
layout is split into various sections operable by either of 2 hand held
controllers.
Uncoupling is achieved by using DG couplings actuated by electromagnets under
the track. Signals are operated by relays. Some of the stock is
permanently
coupled with 3 link couplings. Bodmin Station still exists as part of a
preserved line although only the station building (slightly modified) and
platform remain whilst the signal box has been rebuilt, ostensibly to the
original drawings.

Winner Chairman's choice
Magnificent Scottish scenic with huge depth and hills.
www.bridmodelrail.org.uk 18ft by
9ft
The layout was inspired by the West Highland Line and is
loosely based on the junction at Crianlarich. The layout features rugged
Scottish hillsides and a loch.
The West Highland station was scratchbuilt from plans published in Ian Futers book Modelling Scotland’s Railways. The buildings and viaducts are based on those found within the village of Crianlarich, although the Loch Oran Hotel was inspired by the Tarbet Hotel, which stands on the shores of Loch Lomond. Many of the buildings are scratchbuilt whilst others have been modified from kits.
The layout also features the former Callander to Oban line, which in reality closed in 1965 but for the purposes of the layout has been reopened.
The layout is operated in the period1998- 2008 and locomotives and trains are
run which are typical of that period.Loch Oran was featured in the December 2009 issue of
Railway Modeller under the title West Highland Evocation.

Museum of Transport (00) 4mm to the foot 6m X 2m 18' 6' by 3' 6" www.museumoftransport.webs.com
This is a 4mm scale exhibition layout suitable for most indoor Model Railway and
Transport Shows and Exhibitions. The layout is free standing and is 18'6" x 3'6"
in dimension. This layout is based on features found in transport museums and
industrial interest in the British Isles. The layout is constantly changing with
new features added all the time. A large part of the layout has been extensively
reconstructed for the 2009 season with an enlarged ROAD GALLERY and new
features.
Situated in the town's
former dock area the Museum is ideally placed to display the many different
aspects of our transport, industrial and maritime heritage.
The RAILWAY
GALLERY houses an extensive collection of locomotives, carriages, signals and
other artifacts associated with a century and a half of railways in the British
Isles. A self service Cafeteria is open in the Railway Gallery.
The ROAD GALLERY has been rebuilt for 2009 and is home to
an enlarged collection of restored vehicles including buses, trolleybuses, cars
and rare vehicles together with a collection of street furniture, signs and
memorabilia.
The TRAM DEPOT
houses the Museum's collection of vintage tramcars which operate a frequent
service around the site. Please take care of moving tramcars.
The LANCASTER BOMBER is a non-flying
example of this famous World War II RAF aircraft.
At the VICTORIA DOCK visit the restored Lightship and the
S.S. "St. Olaf", a small passenger steamer built in 1906 for service off
Scotland's west coast. This vessel is open daily.
The fully restored BASCULE BRIDGE
at the entrance to the "Victoria Dock" lifts at regular intervals and visitors
may ascend to the Motor Room to inspect the machinery. The 400-ton bridge is
operated by two electric motors that replaced the original hydraulic equipment.
In emergencies it can be lifted by hand, an operation that takes 6 hours.
regrettably there is no disabled access to the Motor Room.
The PUMP HOUSE contains the massive vertical steam pumps
still used to empty the Dry Dock and provide power to operate the lock gates.
The area round the Bandstand allows visitors to wander
around and examine some of the many and varied vintage road vehicles that visit
the Museum on a regular basis. An exciting way to see the Museum is to make an
ascent in the Hot Air Balloon. Each tethered ascent allows the visitor to view
the site from a height of over 200 feet. (Weather permitting).
From the
restored canal basin at BRITANNIA WHARF visitors may take a short ride on a
narrowboat through the canal tunnels that eventually allow access to the English
inland waterway network.
BRITANNIA DOCK has now been fully restored along with the Swing Bridge that
allows the dockside railway to cross its entrance.
The ENGINE SHEDS house our operational locomotives, some
of which are in steam. The smaller shed is fully open and visitors are free to
wander round the exhibits. The large shed is operational with only limited
access. Our staff will direct visitors to the viewing areas, however please
exercise extreme care in this area as maintenance and restoration work is being
carried out and locomotives are likely to be moved regularly

WINNER PENNOCK TROPHY
David Down & Geoff Barker – Wingfield Railway Group 24’ x 10’ (plus 2’
operating space)
Wingfield Junction is on a fictitious cross-country
route set in the North Midlands in the 1960s. Main line trains include a
variety of express, cross-country and local passenger services together with a
mixture of freight traffic passing through. Built by the Midland Railway at the
end of the 19th century, some of the original Midland character
remains in the form of station buildings, fittings, some lineside notices and
other relics.
The Junction provides a branch line with local passenger
services to adjoining towns and villages. On the board the branch line also
provides access to a loco shed, small goods yard and the world famous Wingfield
Brewery. Further up the line, off the board, another spur off the branch is
being turned into a preserved steam railway, which is becoming increasingly
popular with excursion trains from all over the country, as well as preserved
traffic in and out. The branch also serves a small steel works with coal and
iron ore trains going in and steel-ingot trains and empties departing.
First appearing on the exhibition circuit at Bakewell 2005, with the
main items complete, the layout has since been upgraded with lighting, working
signals and more detailing. 2007 saw the layout extended from 20’ to 24’ to add
further operational flexibility and interest. The first public appearance
of this new extended layout was at Harrogate in February 2008 and was featured
in the British Railway Modelling magazine in time for that show. David and
Geoff will be pleased to talk you through the layout.
