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.

RED HOOK BAY from Michael Carter in Maidenhead
(2 images available)	Michael Carter is an independent Modeller .			01628784867
	Subject: Maine Central/Boston & Maine (USA) Era: 1940'S Description: Red Hook Bay is a fictitious busy seaport on the coast of Maine, USA. Besides the local fishing industry, Red Hook Bay is host to a brewery and a dairy. The town is a major transportation hub for the coastal islands off the coast of Maine and has ferry services from the wharf for both passengers and cars. The town is also a railroad junction for the Boston & Maine and Maine Central railroads. It is also served by a local tram service with a tram stop in front of Hokum's Burlesque Theatre on Main Street. Set in the late steam/early diesel era of the late 1940's. It is somewhere close to Route 1, which links Portland and Rockland in Maine. The thirty structures include craftsmen kits from a wide variety of American specialist companies. There will also be several boats mainly from kits by Sea Port Model Works and Frenchman River. The structures have been deliberately constructed to look a little worse for wear. The majority of the buildings are limited-edition craftsmen kits. The lighthouse is a replica of the Thomas Point Light located off the coast of Maryland but is similar to lighthouses that can be found in New England. The farm features a typical New England style farmhouse with connected barn. Where you find sailors you will find bars and other establishments catering to their interests. Red Hook Bay is operated with a Digitrax DCC system, which allows independent control of the locos, which are fitted with sound decoders. Switching (shunting) is accomplished by using Kadee automatic couplers together with magnets concealed underneath the track. Red Hook Bay was featured in the November 2014 edition of Continental Modeller. It also was a feature of CM's North American 2014 Autumn Special as Red Hook Bay - The Build. Also Marquetren (Nov 2016) and Loco-Revue (Apr 2017). Locos: - ready-to-run models from Proto 2000 and Bachmann suitably weathered and fitted with DCC sound decoders.

CAMPBELL RIVERSIDE from John Izzard in Ballyhaunis
(2 images available)	John Izzard is an independent Modeller .
	Subject: Canadian/North American Era: 1980's + Description: Campbell Riverside is a small freelance depot/servicing point facillity, for the refueling and light maintenance of locomotives. The layout is operated by DCC with some locomotive equipped with sound. The track plan for Campbell Riverside is based on an '0' gauge layout called 'Swansea Riverside' built by the late Alister George of Luton Model Railway Club of which I am a former member. There are many light engine moves around the depot, and also some freight movement to bring in spare parts for the stores. I have recently installed an auto shuttle on the high level section so there is always something moving on the layout. This layout fits into a small car so no van hire cost are involved.

Nigel provided the stock and the buildings. The scenery is a mixture of natural and commercial materials; all the buildings are scratch built. Svanda represents a Norwegian secondary line in the 1980’s. Due to high maintenance costs the line has been truncated beyond this point and the traffic is timber and general goods with a light passenger service. Locomotives and freight stock are typical of the period with a mix of first generation diesels and wood-bodied freight stock. Svanda featured in Continental Modeller in February 2017.

'K' STREET YARD from Carshalton & Sutton MRC in Sutton
(1 image available)	David Smith is the contact for this layout and is the Hon. Secretary of Carshalton & Sutton MRC.
	Subject: Milwaukee Road, USA Era: 1960's Description: A Milwaukee Road HO switching layout set between the late fifties to early seventies. Fictional location in the north of Spokane, Washington State. Because of competition from the Burlington Northern and Great Northern the mainline to the yard was never built, instead it had to rely on the original steeply graded line which threads its way between the buildings. This makes for complicated movements to spot loads in the correct location. It is wired to give a choice of DC or DCC working. The buildings are a mixture of Walthers and Bachman kits, with some recycled buildings from other layouts. The buildings have all been modified and not built straight from the box. The layout is self supporting. No van Hire required.

Other: 1 x socket, 1 x table. NO VAN HIRE.

ST MARK'S YARD from Tim Neale in Twickenham
(1 image available)	Tim Neale is the Committee Member of Western Model Railway Society.
	Subject: ATSF (USA) Era: 1970's Description: The inspiration for this small, freelanced American HO switching layout came from an article in the Model Railroader a few years ago, about an area of Los Angeles where the trains literally moved between, and even through, the fruit warehouses. The Southern Pacific crews called it The Rat Hole. The catalyst was my son, hence the name, when he wanted a Santa Fe locomotive to replace Thomas and Co. St Marks Yard is the result, although instead of fruit warehouses I have used Walthers Paper Mill as the basis for the buildings. All the trackwork, buildings and rolling stock is proprietary, although the manufacturers may not necessarily recognise some of their products. The layout was originally set either in the 1970's or after 1995, when the ATSF merged with the Burlington Northern, but gradually I have concentrated on the 1970's, when the Santa Fe was changing over from its blue with yellow pinstripe to the yellow and blue warbonnet livery, when many of the trip freights and yards such as this still existed and before the dominance of inter-modal traffic and decline of box cars and the abandonment of team track type operations. I have tried to give the layout a West Coast flavour so imagine the sun, The Eagles, Joni Mitchell and Santana on the Eight-track in your Mustang or Camaro, The Rockford Files and Dirty Harry are on the television and at the cinema respectively. Whilst originally the layout was never intended for exhibitions, it was designed to be fully portable. It made its first public appearance at the Western Model Railway Society's show in 2004 and has since appeared at some 25 shows within the south-east and midlands. Since then, the layout has continued to evolve, with new details being added, operational developments such as Lenz DCC, sound locos and additional controllers adding to the entertainment for operators and spectators alike.

PADDEN FLATTS from Martin Ford in Lincoln
(3 images available)	Martin Ford is an independent Modeller .
	Subject: Union Pacific (USA) Era: 1967 Description: Padden Flatts depicts Union Pacific operations in the state of Wyoming, specifically on the Pine Bluffs Division, which is a branch line. The west end acts as the end of a subdivision and therefore acts as the terminus for the daily PF Turn. The structures and setting supports an operating era of mid-late 1960s. This is when grain handling systems were changing and large concrete storages silos were popping up on the landscape of the grain belt. This prompted new railroad cars for bulk shipments and as such the grain hopper was born.

	Subject: Swiss Rhaetische Bahn (RhB) Era: 2000's Description: Maloja HOm Maloja is a village some 20Km from St. Moritz at the head of the Upper Engadine valley in the Swiss Canton of Graubnden. It is situated on one of the planned but never built Rhtische Bahn extensions, which would have extended to the border at Castesegna or even into Italy and the town of Chiavenna. It would have been quite spectacular, having to descend the Maloja pass beyond the village of Maloja, a drop of 350metres in a road distance of only 5Km. The layout was constructed by David Broomfield in the late 1980s and early 1990s (Continental Modeller Railway of the Month November 1991 and revisited November 2007) and sold to Andy Nelson. After Andy's sudden death in 2006 his executors had to dispose of the layout quickly, and having spoken to David Broomfield, I acquired it. In the intervening period it had suffered some considerable damage. This has been repaired, and buildings that had been removed, replaced, although I have endeavoured to keep to the spirit of the original with the alterations and additions I have made. The time of year is early autumn and it is Alpabzug the day the cows return from the Alpine pastures and a folk festival is in full swing to celebrate the occasion. It is early 21st Century, but in this Rhtische Bahn backwater, some of the locos and stock are still to be found in RhB Green and the consists are varied. There is much freight traffic going down to Italy and the Crocodile mixed goods still makes its leisurely twice a day journey from Samedan. The Glacier Express now runs beyond St. Moritz to Chiavenna and with its new 2006 stock has become an international express. Track work is Bemo code 83 and catenary is by Somerfeldt. I have rebuilt the fiddleyard, which has been extended, with Bemo code 70 track, electrified all the point work, installed a barrier level crossing with sound and simplified the control panel to enable single operator working from outside the layout. Maloja was chosen by Switzerland Tourism and Switzerland Travel Centre to be featured in their display in Harrods Knightsbridge store during Easter 2011 as part of the month long Switzerland promotion where it was visited by thousands of Harrods's customers. They also featured the layout to promote Swiss holidays and rail travel on their stand at Destinations 2014 at Earls Court, London in February 2014 Maloja has its own website where you can learn more about the layout and watch a video of it in operation.

BASTOGNE RUE DE CLERVAUX from Phil Colton in Bury ST. Edmunds
(1 image available)	Phil Colton is an independent Modeller .
	Subject: Belgiian/Luxembourg SNCB/CFL Era: 1990 - Present Description: The layout was built as an end to end layout but is now continuous with a fiddle yard behind. Bastogne is famous for its place in the Battle of the Bulge in WWII It is situated in the Ardennes region of Belgium close to the border with Luxembourg which is why I chose it so I can run trains from both countries. The town once had two stations, both now closed, but I have imagined a third of my own design. It is of Art Deco style and is set in a cutting surrounded by arched retaining walls. There are three platforms at the rear of the layout where a frequent passenger service is providied. All along the front of the layout is the freight yard serving a banana warehouse, a logistics depot and a small chemical terminal all of which is intensively shunted. At present the passenger service is operated by DC and the freight yard often by DCC. All services are run with diesel locos.

14TH STREET YARD from A19 Model Railway Club in Sunderland
(2 images available)	Tony Lambert is the contact for this layout and is the Web Master of A19 Model Railway Club.
	Era: 1970-1980 Description: This layout was built by the late Mike Scott. It was his wish we continue to make it available for exhibitions. The layout represents a small yard in the downtown area of an American city. The Yard is surrounded by various industries, most of whom use the railroad for delivery or despatch. The track plan is based on the 'Timesaver' concept pioneered over 60 years ago by John Allen. The layout is not only a model railway but a fascinating logic puzzle. Each industry and freight car is assigned a coloured pin. The object of the game is to match the coloured pins on the tops of the cars with the coloured pins at the industry. (The car with a red pin goes to the industry with a red pin and so on.) The game is over when all the pins match. The game is restarted by changing the pins on the cars and beginning again. Other rules 1)All moves at realistic speed. 2)No touching by hand including uncoupling. 3)The grade crossings can only be blocked for a maximum of 4 moves. Details Locos Atlas, Athearn, Lifelike & Broadway (All sound equipped) Freight cars Athearn, Atlas, Lifelike, Roundhouse, Bachmann, Walthers etc. Track Peco Code 83. DCC NCE (North Coast Engineering) Buildings Scratch built or from Walthers Kits. Scenery Woodland Scenics and Polyfilla

ENIGMA YARD from A19 Model Railway Club in Sunderland
(1 image available)	Tony Lambert is the contact for this layout and is the Web Master of A19 Model Railway Club.
	Era: 1970-1980 Description: The layout is based on Alan Wright's famous 'Inglenook Sidings' plan, but transferred across the Atlantic! It is designed as both a compact test track and a challenging puzzle. The object of the game is to assemble a train in a predetermined sequence within the constraints of the track plan. The game can be made easier or more difficult by varying the number of cars to be assembled. The layout was built , single handedly, in 8 two hour sessions in the A19 Model Railway Club rooms. One of the reasons for building the layout is to show that a model railway does not need lots of room or yards of track and can still be challenging and enjoyable. Locos by Athearn, Atlas, Lifelike . Freight cars by Athearn, Atlas, Walthers, etc. Control is DCC. This Layout was built by the late Mike Scott and is now operated my members of the A19 Model Railway Club.

TORCY (SNCF) from John C. Smith in Birmingham
(1 image available)	John C. Smith is a member of Warley MRC.
	Subject: French branch line Era: 2005 - 8 Description: Torcy is located in the Department of Seine - Maritime in the Haute Normandie, (Upper Normandy), Region of northern France at the end of a single track branch off the line from Rouen to Dieppe. Torcy is a real place but the railway is completely fictitious. The survival of the imaginary branch line is due, in the main, to a distribution depot set up to transfer goods arriving by rail to road vehicles for delivery to this area of northern France, the level of freight traffic is sufficiently healthy to require several trains a day. In addition, loaded trains of open wagons containing gravel from a quarry up the line that only has access from the Torcy direction, enter the station area to reverse before departing to Sotteville yard in Rouen for onward dispatch. The station is served by a regular passenger service from Rouen operated by diesel powered push - pull trains and railcars. there is a thrice daily through train to / from Paris and occasional steam hauled specials. The layout is DCC operated using the Lenz system and all locomotives and railcars are fitted with sound decoders. The layout is transported in a small hire van but we may consider using two cars for shorter journeys and we are happy to attend one - day shows. Torcy(SNCF) is featured in the November 2011 issue of Continental Modeller.

BLUE HERON from Andy Gautrey in Coventry
(3 images available)	Andy Gautrey is an independent Modeller .
	Subject: Washington State, USA. Era: 1990'S Description: Inspired by the Paper Mill in Oregon City of this name and the OC Switcher Youtube video showing the night-time switching operations there, Blue Heron depicts a small waterside industrial area somewhere in the Pacific Northwest in the Grunge music era of the 1990s. The track layout is a 3-2-2 Inglenook with an additional spur for storing extra stock, and willing participants are invited to assist by shuffling the five cards depicting each car and form the train as instructed. The layout has been several years in the planning and making, and utilises leftover stock and buildings acquired for my other Washington State and US HO modular projects. The buildings and some road vehicles have been modified to include LED lights to depict the area at night and additional use is made of Miller Engineering animated signs.
Scale: 3.5mm	Gauge: HO	Size: 5ft x 18inches Footprint: 7ft x 3ft		No. of Operators: 2
Other: 1x 13a socket required and one chair. As the layout is set at night, it is displayed better when located in a darker area of the exhibition venue.

BEAR CREEK JUNCTION from Adrian Hall in Sutton Coldfield
(3 images available)	Adrian Hall is a member of Sutton Coldfield Railway Society.
	Subject: D&RGW and C&S (USA) Era: Early 1900's Description: Colorado became the 38th state of the Union on the 29th December 1876, only 25 years after the first settlement was established in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. However during the 50 years up to 1900 the area boomed thanks to silver and gold strikes around Leadville and in the Front Range, San Juan and Uncompahgre Mountains. This in turn led to boom times for both the Narrow and Standard Gauge railroads of the area, especially after the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad reached Leadville in 1880. To say that construction of the railroads in the Rockies was difficult is a massive understatement. Indeed no other railroad construction in the Old West, even in the mountains of Washington State and Oregon, faced the hazards and difficulties of the terrain tackled by the Rio Grande in the 1870's. Men and mules alone accounted for the mountain grades that brought the three foot iron to Alamosa and Silverton and over Marshall Pass into the Gunnison country. All supplies and construction material had to be carried in for the railroad by mule team or trains of oxen. Railroad ties were transported lashed to the backs of burros while rails were tied to saddles and trailed along the ground. In their ongoing pursuit of the riches of the mountains the Narrow Gauge railroads built towering structures to scale the mighty canyon walls and tunnelled relentlessly through the bluffs and outcroppings to reach the work camps. Thus by the Georgetown, Breckenridge & Leadville Railway reached Silver Plume via the Georgetown Loop in 1884 and the Manitou & Pike's Peak Railway completing the rack and pinion line to the 14,115-foot (4,302 m) summit of Pikes Peak in 1890. Meanwhile the Standard Gauge roads ploughed through the valleys following the mighty rivers upstream, as typified by the Royal Gorge War between the Denver & Rio Grande Railway and the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad in 1879. Thus we have the setting for Bear Creek Junction! Although a fictitious location, the layout is set in one of the many canyons typical of Colorado where mining and logging proliferated. Here you will be able to see fragile wooden trestle bridges curving round mountains, view soaring steel trestles crossing valleys and hear the sounds of steam engines roaring out of rock faced tunnels. With steam predominant on both the Narrow and Standard gauge tracks, the marvels of late 19th and early 20th Century motive power will parade before your very eyes. Wonder at the intricacy of the dual gauge track where the model point work had to be hand built to suit the location, and look out for the 2ft 6in gauge mine tram. Listen to the working of the lumber camps and mines in the mountains and admire the laser cut wood and scratch built model buildings and structures in their working environment. The setting is also bounded by the wilderness of the mountain forests where you will be able to see Black Bears in their natural habitat. But a word of caution is required as these animals are wild and unpredictable, so please . . . DO NOT FEED THE BEARS!

INSPIRED BY FRIEDRICHSTRASSE from Liphook & District MRC in Milland
(1 image available)	Nick Harling is the contact for this layout and is the Nick Harling - Club Secretary of Liphook & District MRC.			07979186634
	Subject: DB/DR Era: 1970 Description: Friedrichstrasse is a station with a complicated past. It still is a major station, but for 40 years was a frontier post – a boundary between East and West Berlin. A busy station, it has a mixture of local s-bahn services, outer suburban, express, and ‘inter-zonal’ (services to West Germany) trains. All served by a busy tram service. This model is not a slavish copy of Friedrichstrasse; more an impression of the area and the types of trains seen in Germany (mainly the East) during the late 1960s and 1970s – the period when this layout is set. The layout has a mixture of modified kit and scratch built structures, with the main station buildings being based on the real Friedrichstrasse station. It is digital controlled, featuring trains from most main German manufacturers.
