The following is an alphabetical listing of the working layouts on show at our 36th exhibition.
The listing will be regularly updated throughout the coming months leading up to the event. |

Abbey Road is a current day, London Underground "OO" scale, "end to end" model railway layout.
It features a fictitious split level station located somewhere in north-west London.
The rolling stock is a varied mixture of "tube" size rolling stock. This includes Metromodels 1972, 1992 and 1996 tube stock, EFE heritage 1938 & 1959 tube stock together with a variety of engineering and departmental trains. |

Clarendon represents the terminus of a long since defunct branch situated off the West London Railway north of Kensington Addison Road set in the period circa 1908.
As the West London Railway was part owned by the LNWR in partnership with the GWR, LSWR & LBSCR, it could be assumed that these companies along with the SECR, District Railway and the Metropolitan Railway, could be considered as have running rights on the branch to gain access to this part of London. |
|
Cornwallis Yard is the work of the late Bob Haskins and represents a fictional section of the GWR's Millbay branch in Plymouth circa 1935.
The branch was famous for providing a railhead for Trans-Atlantic liner traffic from New York, with the GWR providing boat trains between Plymouth and London Paddington. |
|
East Lynn has now been joined to Nunstaton, its near neighbour across the River Tan.
The combined layout uses the same Great Eastern Railway stock, which has been deveolped over the years, with the addition of a new M&GN goods service.
The period represented is at the very end of the nineteenth century. |
|
Felsen is an imaginary town in the German Mosel valley somewhere between Koblenz and Trier.
The area is predominantly wine growing and the small town plays a part in this industry.
The double track main line, set in the late 1950's and early/mid 1960's, carries trains on German domestic services and some international through workings to and from France and Luxembourg. Most trains are steam operated but diesels are starting to appear as substututes for steam locomotives on some mainline trains and in the form of railcars on local services. |

The GER had plans to build a line from North Walsham to Happisburgh (pronounced Haysboro) on the Norfolk coast, then southeast towards Great Yarmouth.
Unfortunately it never got built but for the purposes of our model, we have assumed it did get built!
Thus, an enthusiast standing on the platform at Happisburgh during our chosen period (1950's - early 1960's) could have enjoyed the specticle of steam and diesel traction together.
A loco hauled London express could well pull out of the station alongside an ageing push-pull unit, or one of those "new" green DMU's, bound for Cromer. |
