This Directory is designed as a resource for Exhibition Managers and Visitors alike and holds information on Exhibition Layouts in the UK.
It's purpose is to put Exhibition Managers in contact with layout builders and help Visitors find out more about their favourite layouts.
So if you are looking to fill that gap in your exhibition why not look down this list for something new.
Alternatively, if you have a layout that you would like to be listed all you have to do now is send in your details on the associated form. Remember this is a resource for you, so even if you personally don't have an exhibition layout someone in your Club might, so let them know.

Please mention ukmodelshops.co.uk when you contact any of the layout owners so they can be assured their listing is worthwhile.

KIDMORE MAGNA CURVE from David Mitchell in Reading
(3 images available)	David Mitchell is a member of None.
	Subject: N Gauge minimum space Era: 1950s + Description: A TOTAL OF TEN LAYOUTS ARE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE. PLEASE SEE WEBSITE. As my two existing shunting layouts were both linear in concept, I found that I needed a test track with continuous running in order to run in new locos. Having this in mind, I unashamedly copied a 1990's design & whilst initially having just a bare board decided that a scenic finish could be accommodated using mainly parts from the "spares box". Constructed with little more track than supplied with a proprietary train set, Kidmore Magna measures just 30D" x 24W" (76cm x 61cm) with a scenic section of just 18D" (at max) . The layout has featured in "Railway Modeller". OTHER LAYOUTS IN OTHER GAUGES ARE AVAILABLE, PLEASE SEE WEBSITE.

THE KIDMORE GUMSTUMP from David Mitchell in Reading
(3 images available)	David Mitchell is the Committee Member of Berks Area Group N Gauge Society.
	Subject: UK shunting Era: 1960s On Description: In the late 1950's, Chuck Yungworth, who then lived in northern Pennyslyvania USA, designed and built a small shelf HO gauge layout called the "Gum Stump & Snowshoe Railroad". The layout was published in Model Railroader magazine early in the Sixties and its intriguing zig-zag design made it an immediate favourite. It has remained one of the most popular layouts ever designed and the concept has been listed among the elite Classic Small Railroads. With the rise in popularity of good small layout designs in recent years (and the co-incidental reduced amount of free space in modern homes), modellers have rediscovered Chuck's original plan and constructed modern versions of it. The Kidmore Gumstump measures just 48" by 12" yet affords an effective 12' run by using Chuck's zig-zag design. Operating potential has been increased by increasing the right-hand yard design from the original three sidings to five. Additionally a passing loop has been added to "Anglicise" the layout. All operations are carried out in full view, there is no fiddle yard. Kidmore Gumstump was published in issue 2/10 of the Journal of the N Gauge Society. OTHER LAYOUTS AVAILABLE, PLEASE SEE WEBSITE.

BRINDLECOMBE from David Morton in Reading
(1 image available)	David Morton is the Chairman of Loddon Vale Model Railway Club.
	Subject: BR (W) Through branchline station Era: 1960's Description: I was trawling through the internet when I came across a photograph of Billacombe Station, on the Plymouth to Yealmpton Branch, this inspired me to build a compact layout of a small Western Region branch station. This is the first Western Region layout I have built, and has been quite an experience, I usually model Southern Region. The station has a loop line, but trains are not permitted to pass here, the station is in between two block sections so only one train is allowed to be in that section at any time. I have set it in the early 1960’s using diesel hydraulic locomotives and a class 121 DMU. I have deliberately been restrained in the use of road vehicles and people, as it is meant to be set in a lightly populated area with the branch line waiting for the axe. Photos of the layout may be viewed on Loddon Vale MRC website This layout measures 6ft by 2ft the main scenic area is 4ft by 18ins. It is a DCC layout using an NCE Powercab system.

SANKEY VALLEY RAILWAY from Tim Storey in Warrington
(2 images available)	Tim Storey is an independent Modeller .
	Subject: BR Era: 1950s-1960s Description: The Sankey Valley Railway is a small, simple, lightweight and portable layout based on the Peco Setrack Plan No. 3. Although simple it has been fully landscaped and illuminated and is intended to demonstrate what can be done with a typical small “train set” type of layout. The SVR was built using odds and ends lying around in the garage, with the only “new” parts being the houses, station canopy, power supply and lighting and installed HD video cameras. The layout represents British Railways from nationalisation up to the early/mid 1960’s, allowing an appropriate mix of steam and diesel power but is not modelled on any specific geographic region. Operation is continuous running with a little siding action and features Thomas, James, Percy, Toby and Diesel by popular demand. Although not originally intended as an exhibition layout the SVR is operated from a front panel and has proved popular with younger visitors.

NORTHALLERTON from Cleveland Model Railway Club in Middlesbrough
(3 images available)	David Richards is the contact for this layout and is a member of Cleveland Model Railway Club.
	Subject: NE Main Line Era: Modern Image Description: Northallerton in North Yorkshire is an N gauge (1:148) representative layout of the post 2000s privatised network, set in Autumn and constructed by members of the Cleveland Model Railway Club. The layout is DCC controlled by an ESU ECoS utilising iphones and ipads for handheld wireless operation. Northallerton has always been a major junction on the ECML and it remains so this day. Although the track arrangement has gone through various incarnations, we have attempted to represent the track as it is today. Many local features can be identified on the layout including some of the railway buildings. Stock is mainly the usual Farish and Dapol although there are some offerings from CJM and the odd 3d printed model. Of note is the autumnal Rail Head Treatment Train (RHTT) hauled by a pair of class 37s. Class 66s and class 60s can be seen hauling steel, coal, containers amongst other freight. Passenger stock includes class 91s, HSTs and voyagers.

COTTON LANE GOODS from Nigel Fisher in Alfreton
(2 images available)	Nigel Fisher is a member of Clay Cross Model Railway Society.
	Subject: LMS Era: 1938 Description: Built as an entry for a Chairmans Challenge within our club, this layout in a box was built within a 6 month window to a budget of £50 and won 3rd prize. Following the competition development is continuing to do those things the budget wouldn't stretch to. Set in 1938, Cotton Lane Goods represents a fictional ex-Midland railway goods depot in a midlands town. The main yard and front entrance to the shed is off to the right (off scene) and we see the slightly less busy rear entrance to the goods shed. We see typical LMS trains of the period arriving/departing and wagons being shunted in and out of the shed. All track is handbuilt to finescale standards, and everything else (except a few castings) has been built from scratch.

DENT HEAD from Bruce Souster in Paignton
(1 image available)	Bruce Souster is a member of Luton Model Railway Club.
	Subject: Modern Image Settle and Carlisle line Era: From 2000 Onwards Description: Dent Head is based on the Settle and Carlisle Line and the area around the North end of Blea Moor tunnel, Dent Head viaduct and Dent Station. The area is mainly open Moor land with very few buildings. The bridge to the north of the station, and the viaduct are all scratchbuilt. The track plan has been kept simple with no point work on this stretch of main line, with the only signal, the one in the Leeds bound direction which is always set to Amber . A fair amount of modellers licence has had to be used especially in the station area. The Layout is operated from the early 2000's Up to the present day, and can see a vast amount of traffic from many operators. Passenger services are in the hands of Northern Rail, or the predecessor to Northern, Northern Spirit. Specials frequently visit the line including The Fellsman and Cumbrian Mountain Express these are normally steam haled. Freight services are operated by all of the private freight companies, anything can be expected to visit the line. Including services on diversion from the East and West coast mainlines.

SWANSEA YARD AND SWANPORT from Bruce Souster in Paignton
(1 image available)	Bruce Souster is a member of Luton Model Railway Club.
	Subject: Modern Image South Wales Era: 2000 on Wards Description: The layout is based on the area around the contractors sheds in the Swansea Docks. The sheds were closed in the 1960’s.The site is now modelled as it may have looked today there is a maintenance shed which has 3 service roads. The layout is set in the early 00’s to present day, the maintenance shed is managed by Freightliner but many other Train Operating companies use the maintenance facilities here. A single freight line passes over the entrance to the yard before re-joining the main line. Swanport is a fictitious station made up from Swansea and Newport. Behind the station is a Voyager depot based on Central Rivers.

INS AND OUTS from Stuart Farmer in Bournemouth
(1 image available)	Stuart Farmer is a member of East Dorset N Gauge Society.			07834375045
	Subject: gwr Era: 1950-60 Description: 'INs and OUTs' is an N gauge layout that was originally built by the Romford MRC in 2001. We acquired the layout in 2015 and since then we have set about expanding and renovating the layout to bring it back to exhibition standards. The layout is a great example of what you can fit in a very small space. It has 2 interweaved figures off 8 with 2 stations and a burning house with smoke. The rolling stock is varied with some old some new and even the odd visit from someone Blue (Thomas). The layout runs both DC and DCC.

UPPERTON from Eastbourne Model Railway Society in Eastbourne
(1 image available)	Jonathan Luck is the contact for this layout and is a member of Eastbourne Model Railway Society.			07802 269652
	Subject: BR (SR) Era: 1960'S Description: Upperton is a ficticious station, set in the mid 1960s, located seven miles south-west of Salisbury in Wiltshire on the mainline to Exeter and Devon, carrying through traffic from the North, East and South of England to West Country resorts. This gives a good opportunity for locomotives and rolling stock of all regions to be run on the layout. While the layout is not run to a timetable, operating practices of the full size railway are followed as closely as possible, though our main aim is to have movement at all times and to entertain. All track work is PECO Code 55 with SEEP point motors. Train control is DC via Gaugemaster hand-held units, using the tried and tested control cab method. Embankments and part of Upperton Golf Course are made from polystyrene off cuts or wire-mesh shaped and covered with a thin layer of plaster. Buildings are mostly off the shelf items, though some of the original scratch built buildings have survived. Upperton was originally built by the EMRS in the late 80's, and regularly exhibited until 2012. Its exhibition life, however, was cut short when the 4 center boards were stolen from the club room that year. Luckily, 3 of the 4 stolen boards were recovered in 2017, though in very poor state. It was decided to restore Upperton and bring it back to a condition we were happy to exhibit once again.

LONDON SW999 from Phil Gardner in Eastbourne
(3 images available)	Phil Gardner is an independent Modeller .
	Subject: Various trains from SR steam to current Southern Era: 1950s Through To 2000 Plus Description: The layout shows a typical suburban street set somewhere in south-west London. The choice of location enables me to run a number of different liveries of Southern trains from 1950s steam, SR EMUs including the Brighton Belle, through the Network Southeast era to the newer Southern and Southwest liveries. The track plan, with three continuous circuits with hidden passing loops, is designed purely and simply for running trains as you would see them going through the cuttings approaching Clapham Junction or similar South London stations. The trackwork is Peco Setrack with some Flexitrack on the three sidings by the Carriage Depot. I chose Setrack as it guarantees smooth curves with simple track geometry and yet it allows for a reasonably complicated layout in a small space of 4' 9" x 2' 3". It has been exhibited at a number of shows across the south-east including Tonbridge MRC and Haywards Heath Videos of the layout can be found by searching for London SW999 on youtube

BATTERDALE from Andy Batters in Goole
(3 images available)	Andy Batters is a member of Carlton Railway Society.			0777 1551043
	Subject: BR (E) - East Yorkshire Era: 1950-60 Description: Batterdale The railway layout we have built is principally goods based scene on a fictional rural East Yorkshire branch line, with some light passenger traffic, and is set in the late 1950’s so that both steam and diesel operation can be undertaken. The railway emerges from a tunnel under the ruins of Batterdale Castle, complete with hunt scene, the railway continues into the valley and rural town where there is thriving loco shed providing much local employment, beyond the road bridge, which is under repair there is an industrial siding serving a food mill, both Grain and Milk traffic are seen regularly. On the opposite side of the main line, the goods yard serves the local community, with coal, general goods, food, etc. and once livestock and horses from the local race stables and breeding yards, but this traffic is now infrequent. A raised embankment with local passenger station and coal drop enhances the scenic and creates more operational opportunities. Batterdale is an ‘N’ gauge layout of approx. 9’ 6” by 3’ 6” constructed by smaller modular baseboards, this is designed for easy of transport. Controls are DCC, using the Model Electronics Rail Group (MERG) second generation system. Turnout operation is also controlled digitally utilising MERG CBUS and servo motors for the mechanical actuation. Operation is possible using mobile phones with the Android JMRI ‘Engine Driver’ App. Other planned future control developments are a mimic panel with indicating occupation, and computer automation via JMRI. A recent addition is the are some interactive buttons for children (of all ages...) to press which control some interesting interactive animations, they are very popular. Rolling stock includes: - 04, 08 Shunters Class 13 shunter (under construction) Class 14, 25, 31 & 47 Class 101 - 108 DMU Jinty, J92 0-6-0 Saddle Tank & J94 Austerity J39, B12, A3, A4, Britannia, 8F Freight trains including; dairy train, cement train, the obligatory coal both full and empty. 100+ various goods wagons and vans mostly weathered Though passenger stock Brake down crane with engineer’s support wagons and coaches And not forgetting the special Ghost train....

ENGAINE-CUM-HARDY from Robin French in Brentwood
(1 image available)	Robin French is a member of Member of Chelmsford M.R.C..			01277 225206
	Subject: B.R. Steam Outline 1950-57 Era: 1950-57 Description: Very popular layout on the exhibition circuit having attended over 70 exhibitions these past few years. Also featured in Model Rail Jan 2013, Railway Modeller Sept & Oct 2013 & BRM Sept 2015 There is lots of detail and operational interest for the seasoned modeller to see and lots for would-be modellers to learn just how much can be achieved on a mere table-top layout. It has a 4-road mainline station able to receive two 7-coach trains simultaneously on the "up" and "down" lines (Platforms "2" & "3") whilst branch-line trains terminate in the Bay Platform ("1"). Other connecting branch-line trains use Platform "4" on the far side of the station. There is also a Loco Yard with 13 spur rails off a working Turntable and a (working) Coaling Tower where locos can be turned, serviced and coaled ready for their next turn of duty. The Yard also has a Breakdown Crane & Snowplough for emergencies. The Industrial Area has three sidings - Goods, Coal and Brewery (the latter with a wagon turntable that also works). Here a rake of 12 wagons and guard's van are assembled for a journey around the layout. When appropriate, the wagons are then shunted back into these three sidings and uncoupled automatically.

BUDA from Paul Evans in Colchester
(1 image available)	Paul Evans is the Director of Colchester & District MRC.
	Subject: Burlington Main Line Era: 1980-2000 Description: The layout is a representation of the area from just up from the junction with the branch line to Elmwood to the bridge over the main line on the Burlington side of the depot. The track plan is based on the early 60's, with a small yard on the Elmwood branch. The connection from the relief road to the main line on the Burlington side of the depot, which was lifted between 1960 & 1965, has been included. The two signal bridges, on either side of the Buda depot, originally spanned were 3 track . In 1966 they were changed to cover the two main running tracks and the west bridge moved closer to the station. The depot, which was demolished in 2007 has been scratch-built. The model is based on the photographs that are available on the web (by Manon) and the detailed floor plan which was obtained through the CBQ yahoo group. The other buildings hare a mixture of scratch built and commercial models to represents those seen in 2008.

HILLS COUNTRY from Colchester & District MRC in Colchester
(1 image available)	Paul Evans is the contact for this layout and is the Director of Colchester & District MRC.			01376 570156
	Subject: Colorado (USA) - Era: 1950 To Current Description: The overall concept behind the layout was to have a reasonable scenic depth, which has meant that the railway was part of the scene. The current version of the layout uses 6 of the original boards and 2 further boards. 7 boards are 1500*900mm and the right most board is 1500*1000mm. The total length of the layout is just less than 24.6 ft.or 8.5m. The layout has a scenic depth of 1350mm (4'6"). The layout is not based on any particular location, and for ease of orientation the town is placed on the North side of the river which flows from the west to the east. Hill's Junction is set in the foothills of the Rockies somewhere in Colorado in the diesel era. The town grew up round the railway and the junction was used for changing train crews when they are operating on Out and Back Duties. The main operating companies are those that made up the BNSF. However locomotives from the SP, UP and KCS are also seen.. The town nestles between the river and two ridges. It is located at the junction of two single track "main" lines, the high and low lines, coming from the west. As the high line going to the north climbs at approximately 1:30, the trains need all the help they can get. The low line runs along the river valley and has fewer operating restrictions. At the east end the twin track mainline disappears at river level whilst the single track "hi-line" goes into a helix to climb approximately 200mm. The high reappears and loops round the layout before disappearing down the back and reappearing under a bridge. The Californian Zephyr makes an impressive journey round the high line. A significant amount of industry on the back of the railways. Although the dieselisation of the 50s has caused a decline in the railway workshops and its associated industries, the town is going through a period of redevelopment. The industry is can still be supplied by rail. Behind the back scene there is a passing loop on the "Hi-line" and a 3 road stacking yard (20 ft long) with each road capable of holding 2 trains of around 9ft in length. The yard area in the town has 5 roads and an additional two road for through running. Each road is able to hold at least 15 box cars with the longest able to hold trains with 30 cars. The line through the depot is able to hold the Kato Californian Zephyr set (F (ABA) units and 11 coaches). The yard at the front is used as the holding yard and so a wide variety of rolling stock can be seen. Originally the layout was wired for conventional cab control with six controllers. It has now been updated to Lenz DCC Normal operation means that 3 - 4 trains are in motion at any one time.

BATTY MOOR from Twickenham & District Model Railway Club in Twickenham
(1 image available)	Robert Philp is the contact for this layout and is the Batty Moor Group Leader of Twickenham & District Model Railway Club.
	Subject: Settle to Carlisle Description: Batty Moor is based on the sidings at Blea Moor just North of the Ribblehead Viaduct on the Settle to Carlisle Railway. Because the area remained substantially unchanged from about 1945 to 1975 we can run trains from post war LMS, through nationalisation, and B.R steam to the blue diesel period. Not all at once but in set periods. The train formations are modelled on actual prototypes that ran along the Settle to Carlisle from The Thames Clyde Express to the various mineral workings. The layout is still being developed and work continues in the Twickenham club room every Friday evening. Visitors are most welcome and the group is looking for new members.

SANDFORD ROAD JUNCTION from Saul Jones in Sandfordroadjunction
(2 images available)	Saul Jones is an independent Modeller .
	Subject: Preserved branch line Era: Modern Day Description: Sandford Road junction is a N gauge layout based on a preserved railway. The preserved railway runs parallel to the North and West line that is still in use today by Arriva Trains Wales and First Great Western. The original station of one platform built in 1846 served the main line to London and Bristol using Brunel's Broad-Gauge line and called Sanford Road, but by 1870 standard gauge replaced the broad gauge and the line doubled which meant that a second platform was built. In 1932 the Great Western Railway redeveloped the whole site incorporating double platform, a bay platform, Goods Shed and sidings and the new branch line serving the Cotswolds. It was a thriving location having now been renamed Sandford Road Junction with trains to and from London, Birmingham North Wales and the West Country. But in 1962 the Beeching axe fell on the branch line, with the goods yard and goods shed also closing and in 1967 the station itself was closed. Today there is no sign of the majestic station that once stood on the site. But in 1982 a small team of volunteers started looking at trying to preserve some of what had been there years ago and so work started building what is today the splendid Sandford Road Junction Preservation Railway.

BREITENFURT from Chris Manvell in Isle Of Skye
(3 images available)	Chris Manvell is an independent Modeller .			07815189991
	Subject: German mainline station with branch line. Era: 1904-1914 (But See Below) Description: TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE DUE TO TEMPORARY HEALTH PROBLEMS. See Continental Modeller, October 2014 for full description and photos. Bahnhof Breitenfurt - Ost (Broadford East Station) is a fictitious Bavarian mainline station and junction handling through and branch line traffic. It boasts a small (static) locomotive refuelling and refurbishing facility at one end of the station and a small freight yard at the other. A branch line is served by a short platform and wends its way up into the hinterland. Although the station and its environs are pre WW1, the trains running represent both pre and post war eras, with steam hauled Bavarian, Prussian, DRG and other trains (most of which are described at the front of the layout stand) nearly all of specific historic interest. As a one-man operation, much of the layout's full potential cannot be realised and just three out of eight trains can be run at any one time. Available to exhibitions in Scotland and north England.

The layout is built on one 4 ft x 2 ft baseboard which also includes the fiddle yard and the controls.

A proposal for a tunnel under the Solent around the same time the Freshwater, Yarmouth & Newport railway built their own station in 1913 gave me the idea. Newport West is a terminus with a single through line for trains to other parts of the island.

ADAMS ROW from Erith Model Railway Society in Bexleyheath
(1 image available)	Paul Plummer is the contact for this layout and is the Exhibition Manager of Erith Model Railway Society.
	Subject: Southern/BR Southern Region Era: 1930s-1960s Description: This layout was initially started by Arthur Adams, former EMRS Honorary Vice President, hence its name. Following Arthur's death, it was changed to include third rail and to 'Southernise' it, making it a real homage to Arthur. The layout comprises of a four track main line in a cutting passing a signal box between two tunnel entrances. From the layout's point of view, the name Adams Row comes from the area, which can be any rural location in England, where the housing and amenities were built for the workers of the Adams Brothers' Explosives factory, which is on the right of the set-up. It is now in a run-down state, but the housing is still there.

It comprises of engine shed, goods and coal yard, sidings, tunnel, signal box, water tower and level crossing. The town consists of terraced house around a square green with a round way to the motorway system. Vehicles of all descriptions abound including a station car park. A footpath leads from the station to the neighbouring hills with farm animals roaming. The layout's main aim is to assist in raising funds for the Association of Bexley Charities '78, a group of 13 small local charities who support people in many disadvantaged walks of life.

MUCH WHINGING from Erith Model Railway Society in Bexleyheath
(1 image available)	Paul Plummer is the contact for this layout and is the Exhibition Manager of Erith Model Railway Society.
	Subject: Southern/BR Southern Region Era: 1930s-1970s Description: The theme of this layout is the Southern Railway and/or BR Southern Region with a main line station and stock from other regions running through at times. It has been adapted to become a non-specific location and era layout so that EMRS members can ran whatever stock they have brought along. The layout was formerly owned by the N Gauge Society (North West Kent Area Group) and previously operated under the name of 'St. Mary's' and in a different era. When acquired by the Erith Model Railway Society, it was renamed 'Norvic Junction' (after Norvic House, a now-demolished tower block of flats in Larner Road, Erith, the previous home of the Erith Model Railway Society from 1992 until late autumn 2012). When construction of Scatchwood began, it was sold to one of the members who has renovated, rebuilt, repaired and renamed the layout. It is intended to be a family layout, so during a show you will see steam, diesel, electric, and even Thomas & Friends running, depending on which operators are at the exhibition. The track work is Peco Code 80 and most of the buildings are scratch built using card.

ALPENBAHN from John Brightwell in Hythe
(1 image available)	John Brightwell is a member of East Surrey N-gauge.			07905087280
	Subject: Continental featuring alpine scenery Era: Era Iv - Vi, Occasional Classic Tra Description: Alpenbahn is a modular layout which can be constructed to any number of shapes and sizes. The idea is to have a 'train in the landscape' approach, running realistic length trains. The shortest practical module length is 14ft (including end loops), and the longest is approximately 50ft. Inside and outside corners can be accommodated, and the track line meanders so that a depth of 4ft is minimum, 6ft preferred.rnThe shorter lengths, from 14 -25ft, are ideal for a one-day show; the longer lengths would suit a two or three-day show.rnAn important feature is that we are now operating on DCC, and aim to have at least four trains visibly running at all times!rnPlease apply to John Brightwell for layout possibilities, which are almost infinitely variable.

ELMFIELD from David Westwood in Leicester
(1 image available)	David Westwood is the Secretary of Syston MRS.
	Subject: BR(MR/WR) Era: 1960's Description: Elmfield is a small town in north Worcestershire on the edge of the Black Country, which kept itself very much to itself until coal was discovered in the early 19th century. It was then dragged kicking and screaming into the industrial revolution by the arrival, first of the canal, and then by the railway in the 1880's by way of a branch from the Oxford, Worcester and Wolverhampton at Stourbridge Junction. The coal ran out in the 1920's, but by then large deposits of fireclay had been found, and the production of firebricks and pipes had become the main industry. The model depicts the station and exchange sidings in the early 1960's before the Beeching axe removed the passenger services in 1964. The use of firebricks and clay pipes was also in severe decline and goods traffic ceased completely on the closure of the works in 1967.

	Subject: BR(WR) Era: 1960'S Description: It is the early 1960's.You are returning to the West Midlands via Oxford and Worcester after a hard week in London. It is midsummer and the sun is warm through the carriage window. You are drowsy and you doze off. Somewhere north of Oxford you wake suddenly. You look out of the window and see you are passing through a country station. You just catch the name "Marsh Chipping" and as your eyes close once more you think, "strange, I don't remember that on the way up." Marsh Chipping is, of course, fictional, but the track plan is based on Chipping Campden (with an added branch) and the goods shed on the one at Moreton-in-Marsh.

DRAGONBY from Geoff Buttler in Scunthorpe
(1 image available)	Geoff Buttler is an independent Modeller .
	Description: Dragonby is set in the East Midlands/North East area. At 16ft x 4ft, the layout is a perfect showcase for scale length modern trains in `N` and liveries that would be seen in the area. It has a four track main line and is operated in the contemporary privatisation era featuring a constant procession of modern passenger and freight trains. These are presented by Class 60s, 67s, 67s, 70s and a multitude of units, HSTs and Voyagers. The rolling stock comprises mainly ready-to-run items from Graham Farish/Bachmann and Dapol, which have been modified and weathered for a more realistic finish. The working colour light signals are by Roger Murray, now Absolute Aspects. No layout is ever completed, but it is hoped the atmosphere of the real scene is sufficiently captured for you enjoyment. Please do not feel you are interrupting the operators, as they will be only too pleased to take a break to answer any questions you may have. We hope you enjoy watching the trains go by, as much as we enjoy playing trains.

	Description: A small layout dedicated to the workers who help make the railways possible, the trackworkers, the p'way guys. Set in the mid 60's I wanted to create a space where there was enough room for a good deal of shunting with a purpose to it. Also a loop to leave a train running round. The loop has a reasonably steep hill for the locos to negotiate which is quite fun to see how many trucks is too many!I am proud of the detail i've included in such a small space.

It is based in Germany but stock from all over Europe can be seen. The layout features two double track mainlines, one of which is electrified. They meet at Bad Teiming station. The station is sited at one end of the layout, and as trains leave the scenery becomes more scenic before the two pairs of lines disappear from view into the tunnels and enter the fiddle yard. They reappear back at the station throat at Bad Teiming and prepare for a further circuit of the layout. The layout is conventional in its construction using plywood for the baseboards and Peco track through out. Most of the buildings are from kits but many have been modified, and in some cases scratch built to fit specific locations. This layout is fully scenic on one long side [front] and two thirds of both short sides.

IRGENDWOHN IM ALLGAU from John Brady in Doncaster
(3 images available)	John Brady is the Editor of the Globe of Worldwide Group of N Gauge Society.			07818 077663
	Subject: South West Germany/Swiss/Austria Border Era: 1960's/70's Description: As seen in Continental Modeller April 2013 as Layout of the month and the winner of 4 awards for Best Scenics, Most Entertaining layout and Best in Show as voted by members of the club. This Irgendwohn layout is set in the Allgäu region in the South West of Germany at the point where the German and Swiss borders meet and very close to the Austrian border. It's an imaginary town which is given away slightly by the name which was derived from the German for "Somewhere over there" or "Irgendwo wohn hin" with the words shortened and combined in best German tradition. The town is situated typically in a glacial valley so is on fairly flat ground but the hills and mountains are never far away and it doesn't take long for the trains to dive into the tunnels under the hills which lead to the fiddle yards. The main station for the town takes centre stage on the layout with a bus station complete with a variety of local, long distance and tourist buses behind it. The local market is across the road and the grander town buildings at the back. To the left of the station is a market garden and then a small working historic railway society who have their own shed with steam loco's and old carriage nestled in the curve of the main line as it swings north and heads off toward Stuttgart and Munich. To the right of the station is the industrial area with several sidings which were used as the border check point in the days when all freight had to be cleared through customs when crossing from Switzerland. Today they are generally used for the storage of maintenance trains although some are still used to hold freight wagons waiting for onward despatch and the timber yard and a couple of the factories have their own loading docks. The main line curves around these storage sidings and disappears off towards Innsbruck and Zurich. So the line is very busy with local and inter-city trains and regular freight trains, often with wood or timber products. Not available for 1 day shows. The road though the town is also very busy and there is plenty of evidence of through traffic as well as the local town traffic - which is not helped by an accident blocking the main thoroughfare. The layout is 12ft long, 3 ft deep and is a twin track oval with sidings and a bay for local trains at the German end of the station. The fiddle yard can hold 14 trains (six for each direction with a couple of short lines for local traffic like the multiple units which run into the station bay so there is plenty of scope for different trains and plenty of variety for the viewer. But it does keep the operators on their toes!!

KAYREUTH from Ian Hogben in Chessington
(3 images available)	Ian Hogben is an independent Modeller .
	Subject: German 'N' gauge Era: Late 1990s / Early 2000s Description: Kayreuth is a freelance modern image German layout set in Nordrhein/Westfalen and features a nine-platform mainline station (with bus station over) at one end of the layout, plus a two-platform station at the opposite end. Only the ends of the platforms of each station are visible but the trackwork of the main station is designed to make it look like a typical busy German urban junction. Operation of the layout is a mixture of continuous run ## end-to-end (partly utilizing the two 'continuous run' tracks + a burrowing junction and shared head-shunts) ## and a separate end-to-end (auto-shuttle) ## In addition there is a continuous run double-track tramway. On the main lines, ten and eleven coach trains are possible, as well as prototypical length goods trains. It should be noted that for realism, all mainlines have overhead wires and, where appropriate, all locos/trains run with their pantographs up. Invitations for TWO DAY EXHIBITIONS and LONGER only, please. Kayreuth was 'Layout of the Month' in the April 2011 issue of Continental Modeller. VIDEOS of this layout are available on YouTube. Type in the name ("Kayreuth") and ignore any YouTube prompt asking if you want Wagner's birthplace. Recommended videos are posted by: Hans Winter; DLoc567; Bill Roberts.

WATERSTOCK from West Midlands N Gauge Club in Birmingham
(1 image available)	David Griffin is the contact for this layout and is the Exhibition Co-Ordinator of West Midlands N Gauge Club.
	Subject: gwr/gc Era: Late 1950's-Early 1960's Description: Waterstock is some 20ft long and comprised of 6 ( 4' x 2' ) boards as the main "scenic" model with 4 ( 4'x 1' ) boards for the rear fiddle yard. The track plan can be found on the club's web site, and is an amalgam of Hatton Junction and Yeovil Pen Mill. In this instance Hatton has been moved southwards to rest between Oxford ( Tiddington ) and Thame, and became part of the GWR/GCR joint improvement/expansion of 1897. This saw a better/faster/shorter line for the GWR to Birmingham and access to Marylebone avoiding the Metropolitanline for the GCR. The layout is placed in the 1950's/early 60's period allowing for both steam and early diesel traction to be used, along with a degree of inter regional traffic for variety. Further details and pictures can be found in the September 2007 issue of Railway Modeller.

ANYONE FOR T from Ken Jones in Birmingham
(1 image available)	Ken Jones is the Chairman of West Midlands N Gauge Club.
	Subject: O Scale Garden layout using T gauge Era: Present Description: The cutlery box layout "Anyone for T" was built in 2009 and is my first venture into T gauge produced by Eishindo of Japan. T, stands for three, the distance between the rails in millimetres, and is a scale of 1:450 making it now the smallest commercially available model railway. So far only 4 x 4 car, and single car Japanese EMUs are available. Each 4 car set has 2 power cars and working front and rear lights. Power from a purpose built controller is at 4.5 volts DC either by batteries or mains adapter. My layout is in a cutlery box from Ebay, and features O gauge people and scenery - yes I've gone smaller and bigger from my usual layouts to create what I hope will be a private double track T gauge layout being an O gauge garden railway. All the T gauge track, buildings and accessories are from Eishindo whereas the English garden and people are from a number of UK sources. The flower gardens and lawn were built for me by Rodney Hodge. Buildings, trees, boats, animals, bicycles and people are already available in T gauge. Flexible track and other items such as points will be released in the future. The layout appeared as work in progress at the Sutton Coldfield show in 2009 and was completed in time for Zedex in the same year. It has also appeared on various internet sites such and in a Norwegian model railway magazine the reference is MJ-bladet Volume 3/2009 Argang 30 page 7 Verdens Minste Modelljernbane!

CINEMA SIDINGS from Ken Jones in Birmingham
(1 image available)	Ken Jones is the Chairman of West Midlands N Gauge Club.
	Description: An N gauge layout designed and built by Ken Jones using a cinema usherette ice cream tray in 2002. The layout is an inner city derelict area, which in parts, is being renovated behind a building being demolished. Trains enter the yard under a road bridge - now overgrown and used by cows. The main building (Model Power prebuilt kit) once was a hotel with its own grounds. The developers want to lift the track and seal off the entrance under the bridge. so the scene is caught somewhere during this change. Already established on the site, but not yet occupied is one new unit (Kestrel Kit) and a cafe just opened. (Modified Japanese Kit) with internal Lights. The theatre, formerly the cinema is still on the left-hand side, note the Neon signs - Theater/Cafe (Noch Folien) used to give added interest.

EMBOX from Ken Jones in Birmingham
(1 image available)	Ken Jones is the Chairman of West Midlands N Gauge Club.
	Description: The Second Box File Layout Since the town bypass was built through part of the orchard, the town has developed its own transport policy and now runs a light railway from a new town centre station with a connection running through the town to the nearest mainline station. This was achieved by cutting through the rocks, forming a new station and a small park in what was once a dreadful part of the town. Cars and lorries are restricted from the town centre, but a free secure car park and unloading area has been created out of site behind the shops. The multiple unit is a Kato chassis with a Japanese modified kit supplied by Peter Dibben The trees in the orchard are by Jules, The station is an Aurora kit, no longer available. The layout has working lights by Viesmann The people are by Preiser The fencing is by Faller and by FKS Modellbau The vending machines, hot dog stand and preserved stationary steam boiler [steam donkey] are from the Ebay shop in USA The seagulls are from Karen Rush art studios Embox shows what can be built in a box file and is my second such layout. Pending has been seen at several exhibitions. It is hoped that Embox will also be a favourite small layout at exhibitions. This time the layout includes working lights

KENDORF from Ken Jones in Birmingham
(1 image available)	Ken Jones is the Chairman of West Midlands N Gauge Club.
	Description: A z gauge layout by Ken Jones. The layout is 123 cm x 50 cm and features the fictitious small German town of Kendorf in the mountains, famous for it's small chapel, now a tourist site, and the Martyr's cross on top of the cliff. The railway enters the town with it's typical German one platform for local trains from single track tunnels from inside the mountains. There is room at the station for through trains to pass in either direction or to hold them on the appropriate loop. Notice the beer garden popular with tourists and town folk, the 2 people meeting behind the shop, the people on bicycles. The trackwork and electrics are all Marklin as is all the rolling stock, including a mixture of steam and diesel locomotives as well as a special beer train and the City Bahn Express. The buildings are Faller and Kibri. The radio mast is from Blair Line in the USA. Other accessories are from Markin and Noch. The street lights are Viesmann. The fiddle yard at the back contains loops and storage sidings. The whole layout is no more than the size of a large draw in a old dressing table. It was completed in 2004.

PENDING from Ken Jones in Birmingham
(1 image available)	Ken Jones is the Chairman of West Midlands N Gauge Club.
	Description: An N gauge layout designed and built by Ken Jones using an A4 box file in 2003, inspired by OO9 layout by Barrie Etter. The layout is a scene from an industrial heritage site, that some people want to preserve, and others want to demolish and redevelop. Sometimes the developers arrive by helicopter [Revell customised kit] but most days the conservationists have a 0-6-0 working a circular track throughout the site.Normally it is a Farish Austerity in ex works NCB livery or a 08 shunter. There is an abandoned mineral line and the buildings were made from bits and pieces from other models. The name "Pending" comes from the fact, like in real life, no decision has been made on the future of the site, or because "Pending" is often put into a box file.

SALVERTON - THE TRAY LAYOUT from Ken Jones in Birmingham
(1 image available)	Ken Jones is the Chairman of West Midlands N Gauge Club.
	Subject: moving bus system Era: Present Day Description: This layout was started in winter 2012 and completed during 2014. It made an appearance in Coventry in 2012 as "work in progress". Starting with a tray that Ken's wife was going to throw out. Ken added a canal, before fixing a roadway around the outside of the tray. This carries the Tomytec moving road system allowing N gauge buses to operate a shuttle service. Above this extended base board is a small N gauge circular line offering brake van tours. The tray itself has a small Nn3 layout and a transport museum. Work started in February 2013 to lay the Nn3 track - the museum's buildings come from a Cornerstone modular kit donated by a friend. Much of the construction of this layout uses second hand items to keep costs down. The water tower is a second hand Lyddle End item and rolling stock will come from Ken's other layouts. Only the Tomtec Moving bus system was acquired new direct from Japan. The layout measures 50cm x 70cm and even has its own folding legs. It will make it's first public appearance in 2014, at The International N gauge Show. By the canal you will find a demonstration of how grandma did her washing whilst travelling on the canal system

TENNIS COURT SIDINGS from Ken Jones in Birmingham
(1 image available)	Ken Jones is the Chairman of West Midlands N Gauge Club.
	Subject: Preserved buses Era: Present Day Description: Tennis Court Sidings is a British N Gauge layout set in the present somewhere in the south west of England. It's a small preservation site seldom open to the public, but the local bus enthusiasts have totally renovated the old Western National garage and surrounding area. They are holding a bus rally and the railway is open as well. The layout also retains the tennis court - once part of the sports facilities offered by the local bus company to its employees, and which lends its name to the layout. The layout was built during 2010. The layout is 91cm x 61 cm [3ft x 2ft in old money] and consists of an oval of track that the preservation group utilise. But it's the buses that make this layout different. Some of the kits have not been produced for years like the Dennis E type single decker produced by Cromer models as a white metal kit, or the Daimler CVD 6 with MCV body from Langley which has not been available for many years. It is not certain which buses will turn up to the event just like a true bus rally, as Ken as over 200 to choose from including some produced by the late Bill Avery. Others have been sourced from the USA, Germany and the Far East and are not often seen in the UK. Then of course there are the really unique models special to this layout like the tree lopping bus converted from a Lesney / Matchbox model and Walsall Trolleybus by Rodney from the West Midlands N Gauge Club. Malcolm Hall has also made bespoke buses for me including an open top Lodekka and Bristol G

WATERFALL JUNCTION-THE SUITCASE LAYOUT from Ken Jones in Birmingham
(1 image available)	Ken Jones is the Chairman of West Midlands N Gauge Club.
	Description: This freelance N gauge layout measuring less than 2ft by 18 in was built in 1999 by Ken Jones to act as a test bed for some of his rolling stock but went on to become a layout in its own right. It could be anywhere in rural England, Scotland or Wales and various locomotives negotiate this tight single track line passing under the waterfall which was the place that the main line, now a mere siding, joined this delightful scene. The waterfall and river are made from a 2 pack Faller system, the track is Peco and the controller is a special one built locally by Len Bane to enable slow running. Tender locomotives and those with a long wheelbase cannot negotiate the tight curves. Look out for campers, a trainspotter, and a man with his dog and another one cycling home from work.It will be at TINGS 2016 - sorry my website is down due to hackers

	Subject: N guage garden railway Era: Diesel/steam Cross Over Description: Layout is designed to fit on the garden table. The lower level has a loop with a through station and spur siding; this normally operates with steam loco with two coaches, three car DMU and a goods train. The focus of the layout is watching a empty Class 20 and three flat wagons leave the saw mill going forward at the base of the layout complete, slowing climbing through two circuits of the layout up the side of the mountain and entering the logging station at the top of the layout. After gap in time the class 20 reappears out in reverse with three loaded wagons; and completes the reverse journey. The wagons get unloaded and the whole cycle starts again. The layout is operated via DCC; and has a inner helix to allow the two trains to pass each other inside the mountain and the points are operated via PIR senses on the inner helix

EL CREMALLERA from Piers Milne in Birmingham
(1 image available)	Piers Milne is the Exhibition Manager & Secretary of European Railways Association.
	Subject: Spanish Metre Gauge Rack Railway Era: Current Description: EL CREMALLERA Nm N Scale (1:160) Metre Gauge. This is a representation of a rack railway in Catalunya, in north east Spain. It was electrified from the start, with all the power equipment being supplied by Brown-Boveri, and is fitted with Abt rack with a maximum gradient of 15%. The current principal operating stock is a fleet of modern-styled railcars, in a predominantly blue and white livery, which run a highly intensive service. Most of the rolling stock bodies are made from card kits on Maerklin Z Gauge chassies and running gear. Maerklin Z gauge track with a gauge of 6.3mm is used which is almost exactly correct for metre gauge in N scale. There are no hidden storage areas and all the trackage is on view apart from that in two en-route tunnels.

GOTTINGEN SUD from Piers Milne in Birmingham
(1 image available)	Piers Milne is a member of European Railways Association.
	Subject: German Std to N G Interchange Yard Era: 1950's Description: GOTTINGEN SUD German Std to N G Interchange Yard N + Nm This is a representation of the station and interchange yard at Gottingen Sud between the standard gauge feeder line and the 750mm gauge Gartetalbahn, which ran along a valley to the south east of Gottingen in Germany. The line was built in 1897. Passenger service survived to 1957 and mail was also carried. Freight, mainly sugar beet and timber, lasted until the tracks were lifted in 1959. Virtually nothing remains of it now and much of the former trackbed is now a cycle path. The layout is modelled in N and narrow gauge N. Strictly, the narrow gauge track should be 4.7mm gauge to represent 750mm but, as there is no commercial equipment available, the broader Marklin Z gauge mechanisms and track has been used. All the narrow gauge rolling stock has had to be created by marrying suitable Z gauge mechanisms and underframes to N gauge bodies with an element of 'kit bashing'. The modelled timescale is the mid 1950's by which time the railway was in a very rundown state with rough grass covering much of the interchange yard. The central portion of the layout is an exact reproduction of the original trackplan. The area on the right is a reshaped version of the route taken by the line through the streets of Gottingen. Modeller's licence has been invoked at the left hand end but most of the original features are reproduced. The line used a variety of locomotives. In later years three 0-6-0T+T's, two of which lasted to the end together with an 0-10-0T+T were employed. Latterly a Wismar railcar was acquired. Models of all these have been made. The Gartetalbahn had two and four axle coaches and a large number of four wheel open wagons and vans. The lightly laid track prevented the use of transporter wagons and all goods had to be transhipped manually, hence the interlaced tracks. On the standard gauge BR91's were used as well as other small locos. The layout is operated with conventional DC power, a 12v Gaugemaster controller for the standard gauge and an 8v Compspeed controller for the narrow gauge. The backscene is by ID Backscenes overlaid with images of city buildings. Most of the buildings are propietary kits but some are of cast resin and the low relief houses were made from card. The layout is free standing and has its own lighting in case of need.

OBERDORF / I I from Piers Milne in Birmingham
(1 image available)	Piers Milne is a member of European Railways Association.
	Subject: Local Railways - Franco / German border Era: (DRG) Epoche Ii/iii (1930 Description: OBERDORF / II - Nm - Metre Gauge N Scale The imagined setting is in the south west corner of Germany near the border with France. This is to justify the appearance of French narrow gauge motive power as well, since the village has close ties with its neighbour Cernay, across the border, and the two communities have agreed upon common running rights. The layout tries to convey how small the trains are in relation to the terrain they travel through. Most narrow gauge lines are single track and trains can seldom cross except at stations with passing loops. The layout is to N Scale (1/160) but with track laid to Metre Gauge. This model combination is designated as Nm. Märklin Z track with a gauge of 6.3mm is almost exactly correct for this purpose. Some of the locos and stock have been created from Nm kits but mainly by marrying N Scale bodies with Märklin Z Gauge chassies and running gear.

	Subject: BR Era: 1970s Description: Little Walsall Circular Railway was built in the early 1970s and appeared at shows in the West Midlands until about 1982. The builder had scratchbuilt many BR diesels which were simply not available from the few manufacturers of the time. The layout was designed to put maximum track into 4' x 3' with maximum operating potential. It usually operates to a strict (and published!) timetable. It survives with its original stock (Farish, Lima, Minitrix, Atlas, Peco) and can attend an occasional show.

OXENDALE JUNCTION from Stuart Brasier in Wolverhampton
(3 images available)	Stuart Brasier is an independent Modeller .			07935 840845
	Subject: BR(WR) steam era Description: The era is the early 60s Western region when duties were shared by diesels and steam locos. At a scale length of a mile this layout is designed to maximise the running of scale length trains and to ensure a constant flow of trains to keep the public entertained. Many freight trains run with 50+ wagons which allows the children watching to brush up on their numeric skills! However the main feature of Oxendale Junction is as a showcase for the unique fleet of 500 freight vehicles includes numerous kits, scratch-Builds and many Peco, Farish and Continental models, which have been butchered beyond recognition. Such work is rarely attempted in N Gauge. The wagons are correctly lettered, weathered and chalked up ready to go, or not to go in the case of condemned wagons sitting in the cripple siding. Although the layout has been around for many years the fleet of wagons is continuously being added to so that there is always something new to see. As well as main line running we also operate pilot duties, banking, shunting and branch line workings. Scenic features have been gathered from along the OWW as well as all over Oxfordshire. The three bridges come from CharIbury, Combe and Banbury; parcels bay from Worcester; telegraph poles from Kingham; flourmill from Bledington; farm from Lyneham; mill from Shipton under Wychwood and station gardens from Kidlington. Yet to come is Deddington garage, Bruern saw mill, Finstock bridge and a herd of 100 or so Friesians to create traffic chaos on Station Road as they head for the fields after milking. Press exposure has included Model Rail, BRM, Modelling Railways Illustrated, the Railway Modeller and several other magazines.

(1 image available)	Paul Sharp is the contact for this layout and is the Secretary of Crawley Model Railway Society.
	Description: West Tilgate is the N gauge layout of the Crawley Model Railway Society. It occupies a space 20' x 3' in an elongated oval format with the fiddle yard located behind the scenic section. The scenic area is 20' x 2' depicting a double track mainline passing through open scenery with a double track secondary line diverging from it. A station is provided to allow connection between services using both lines in addition to terminating branch trains. Alongside the station is a goods yard with limited facilities for the transfer of local agricultural products and goods for nearby commerce and industry. The architecture and general appearance is based on the Southern style of the late 50s, although on club evenings members will run stock according to their preferences.

KANJIYAMA from Nick Harling in Pulborough
(3 images available)	Nick Harling is a member of Liphook & District MRC.
	Subject: JR Eastern (Japan) Era: Present Day Description: Deep in the heart of the spine of the island of Honshu, which are the Japanese Alps, sits a small town. Kanjiyama is like so many other small out of the way place in rural Japan, with the exception of having not one, but two railways serving it. Until the 1980s and privatisation, Kanjiyama was a through station linking the Chuo and Iida lines. From here was a small branch line heading to a spa resort some twenty miles further up the valley. 1987 saw the truncation of the JNR line to Kanjiyama, and the closure of the branch - which was subsequently taken over as a third-sector line. Today, the main branch still survives as part of the JR Eastern network, whilst the third-sector 'Kaniyama line' still operates its selection of second-hand multiple units, and light, but regular, freight. The layout depicts a rural part of Japan, with a simple junction station. The bulk of the operations are multiple units, with an occasional freight changing locos (swapping a JR Freight loco for a Kanjiyama line machine) serving light industry further up the valley. All stock are ready to run offerings from Kato, Micro ace and Tomix, which the scenery are a mixture of modified ready to place, and kits from a number of manufacturers.

TITHERIDGE JUNCTION from Bradford Model Railway Club in Bradford
(1 image available)	Pauline Mckenna is the contact for this layout and is the Exhibition Manager of Bradford Model Railway Club.
	Subject: BR - Western Region Era: 1976/1980 Description: The Layout is based around the late 70's early 80's era and represents the BR Western Region period when it runs members Western region diesels and stock. This comprises Western's, Class 121 and 122 DMU's and a 125 HST set, from Dapol with 20, 24, 25, 31, 33, 37, 40, 44/45/46, 47, and DMU's 101 and 108 from Bachmann. We also run a number of Dapol 6 wheel milk tanks which was going to be used for a Creamery hence the Creamery on Titheridge Junction. All locos have been renumbered, detailed with buffer beam detail at one end. Coaches and Wagons are fitted with close couplings with the last item in the train having its coupling removed which makes a big improvement to the overall appearance. All the stock is also lightly weathered.

MARX ENGELS PLATZ from Bill Roberts in Brighouse
(1 image available)	Bill Roberts is an independent Modeller .			07957 832745
	Subject: Berlin S Bahn Era: 1990s Description: Marx Engels Platz is a station on the Berlin Stadtbahn between Alexanderplatz and Friedrichstrasse in the German capital. The station exists today as Haekchsche Markt but is modelled just after the fall of the Berlin Wall when it retained it's former East Berlin name. The layout is based on the location but does not purport to be an exact model of the area. Rather the intention has been to recreate a flavour of the old East Berlin albeit with some buildings modelled accurately. The line sees a frequent service of the iconic Berlin S Bahn units with steam diesel and electirc haulage used on trains on the transit through route from East Berlin to East Germany. The layout has it's own lighting and supports and travels in a private vehicle - no van hire required.

LOTHERSDALE from David Smith in Leeds
(2 images available)	David Smith is a member of Keighley MRC.
	Subject: BR(MR) Era: Late 1950's Description: The layout is based on an imaginary ex-Midland railway in the West Riding of Yorkshire. When the Leeds and Bradford railway opened up to Skipton there was a proposal to build a branch from Kildwick to Lothersdale. However the amount of potential traffic was not considered sufficient to warrant the expenditure My theory is that an independent local company built the branch, much as what happened with the Worth Valley, and had the Midland Railway operate it for a percentage of the profits, but instead of running towards Kildwick on the Leeds - Skipton line the branch ran towards Earby on the Skipton - Colne line. Eventually the Midland bought out the local company and replaced the temporary wooden buildings with standard Midland Railway designs. The layout is set in the late 1950's when the branch was starting to see its first diesel trains replacing the ex-LMS steam locos on some workings Traffic is mainly local passenger services to Skipton with the occasional through coach to London (St.Pancras)[sx] or Bournemouth West [so]. Goods traffic is general local goods and agricultural merchandise although a quarry on the branch provides some stone traffic Rolling stock is mainly Farish, with some Peco and Minitrix items, as well as the odd kit built vehicle. All the stock has been fitted with dg couplings (so there is not too much of "The big hand from the sky" [hopefully!!]) and the majority has been repainted and renumbered. All the locos have been renumbered as Skipton or Manningham based locos and weathered to some degree.

CHOATES LANE from Tim Hitch in Trowbridge
(3 images available)	Tim Hitch is the Committee Member of Bently Model Railway Goup.			01225 350465
	Subject: East London Industrial Hell Hole - HS1 & BR(Thames Era: Next Year.... Description: The inspiration for this layout came from the competition inspired by the Modern Image group of the N Gauge Society for a modern N gauge layout; as well as the fact that both Stuart and Tim owned two Kato Eurostar sets (plus add on sets) so that the potential existed to run two prototype length Eurostars (two power cars plus 18 passenger cars); and also two visits to the area we decided to model. With introduction of the new livery with the refurbishment program, Stuart and Tim acquired one 20 car set of Eurostars from Kato. The area we looked at was where the High Speed One line comes to the surface at Dagenham out of the tunnel from Stratford. This is close to the Ford Motor Company works and beside Dagenham Dock station on the Tilbury line. The lines we model above the High Speed One line are not modelled on the real ones, and the cement works and distribution depot are not modelled on the ones at Rainham and Dagenham. The principle is to give an impression of the area but using modellers license to the full. As far as we know there is nowhere called Choates Lane although the Choates name does exist in the area. Viewers of the layout are (as it were) standing on Dagenham Dock station looking towards the Thames with St Pancras, Dagenham and Stratford on their right and the Ford Motor Company, Dartford and the Channel Tunnel on their left.
