We continue today with some almost favourites.  The first layout perhaps should have been a favourite, but is definitely an old friend.  Alpenbahn (N) started back in the early noughties as an ESNG modular layout modelling, as the name suggests, alpine railways.  These are mainly Swiss and German, but in the best ESNG tradition, anything pan-European goes.  As members moved on from the club, John Brightwell took over the club modules, moved everything to deepest Kent, and added more modules, fiddleyards, DCC and even signals.  It was good to see the layout again, and the selection of friends who had been recruited to operate it with John!

John is interviewed at 7:24 on this video!

And in case you missed it, look at these dodgy characters entering the show.  No good hiding behind the bush, Mr Dawes!

The North Cornwall Brewery is another layout seen before, but once again, it is a lovely bit of modelling and worth another look.  Plenty of interesting buildings and a mix of industrial and Southern locomotives.

Conyer Creek Signals (O) is a branch terminus and small port set on the north Kent coast.  Pre-grouping splendour is provided by the  SECR.  Some pretty locomotives and interesting wagons and coaches were on show.

Finally for today, Dydley Junction (N).  An LMS/GWR junction all crammed into 4’x2’6″.  Yet it doesn’t look too crowded – perhaps due to the use of PECO double slips and curved points, and a large traverser hidden under the hill at the back of the layout.
