Having completed our EM layout Walford Town, we began thinking about our next project. Many of the group were already modelling P4, and there was a general consensus that the new club layout should be to these standards. In contrast to Walford Town, a steam era layout was preferred, and a period of circa 1908 had general support. However, there the agreement ended. The great diversity of interest amongst the members was such that no one railway company was of interest to more than one or two of us.
