Layouts Confirmed to date (April 2013)
1/48 Scale
- The Mill (The Mumby Lumber Co), On30 Gauge, Jacq Damen, A logging layout showing the sawmill, the logpond, unloading facilities and the repair shop, the feeling of being in the woods returned.
7mm Scale
- Bucks Hill, O Gauge, Kevin Wilson, Although called Bucks Hill the layout is a pretty accurate rendition of Pontrilas, we changed the name to save the boring conversations about the differences with the original and to allow us to run what we fancied avoiding more banal observations!
- Heyside, O-MF Gauge, Richard Lambert, Set in the late 50s early 60s Heyside is the area between Royton Junction and Shaw on the Oldham Loop, firmly in Lancashire and Yorkshire territory.
4mm Scale
- Crumley & Little Wickhill, OO9 Gauge, Hull Miniature Railway Society, An essay in scenic modelling representing a narrow gauge line in the Yorkshire/Lancashire/Cumberland border area, in the early 1930s, that serves two communities.
- Eskmuir, OO Gauge, Tony Bucknell, Eskmuir is only a representation and not actually “Brechin”, I have based the layout to be from 1958 to 1964 with the line from Forfar via Careston still open and the area still buoyant with freight.
- Leicester South (GC), OO Gauge, Shipley Model Railway Club, The layout is a model of an actual location a few hundred yards south from Leicester Central station on the former Great Central Railway as it was in British Railways days between 1948 and 1963.
- Polbrook Gurney, OO Gauge, Chris Nevard, A micro layout depicting a fictitious halt and crossing on the Wadebridge to Bodmin branch line of the former GWR in Cornwall which with boundary changes is now under BR Southern Region control.
- Polsithney, P4 Gauge, Alan Hall, A fictitious GWR Cornish terminus with China Clay facilities, the layout represents the period 1919-1920.
- St Merryn, P4 Gauge, South London Area Group, St. Merryn represents a fictitious terminus on the North Cornwall Line, approximately where Padstow is situated. The period modelled is summer 1954, a year when the removal of meat rationing had finally brought an end to wartime restrictions.
3mm Scale
- Hemlock, 14.2mm Gauge, Croydon Model Railway Society, The layout is based on the station at Hemyock on the Culm Valley Light Railway.
- Sandown, 14.2mm Gauge, Phillip Hutchings, The model depicts the Isle of Wight station as it was in 1952/3 and the sequence of trains you will see depict briefly, a typical summers Friday service of those years.
2mm Scale
- Banbury, N Gauge, Ian Lampkin, This layout is closely modelled on the station that lies on a busy cross country route between Birmingham and Didcot in this Oxfordshire town, it is based on the location as of 2011 and is DCC controlled.
- Fence Houses, 2mmFS Gauge, Bob Jones, Set in north east England, was once part of the original east coast main line. In 1872 this status was lost, when the present main line was opened further west, through Durham City modelled during the period 1957 to 1962.
- St Ruth, 2mmFS Gauge, 2mm Association Midland Area Group, A terminus to fiddle yard layout set in the mid 1960’s and modelled loosely on Penzance. Operation is based on a 24 hour weekday period during September taken from the relevant timetables but with some adjustment to allow for available stock and track configuration differences.
- Temple Falls, N Gauge, Ron Upton, A demonstration of modern Japanese N Gauge, this is a non-prototypical location with the railway running past an octagonal temple; Yumendomo (House of Dreams); close by a waterfall set in rocky terrain.
- Tucking Mill, 2mmFS Gauge, Jerry Clifford, The layout is the terminus of the North Somerset Light Railway, conceived in 1902, opened in 1905 under the Light Railway Act and closed in the mid 1950's when the last of the mines that were its main source of traffic closed.
