A selection of photos from the Gravesend show.  I haven’t used all of Mr Dawes’ photos – just the ones that seemed of particular interest.  In the interest of fairness, they again appear in alphabetical order.

Aquarium to Blackrock (OO9) is a model of Brighton’s Volks Electric Railway, opened in 1883 and the oldest operating electric railway in the world.

Ballyconnell Road (3mm scale, 15.75mm gauge) is a familiar layout at shows, but always worth another look – unusual both in scale and gauge.

Hawin Doorey (OO9) is a whimsical branch off the already imaginary Skarloey Railway on the famous Isle of Sodor.  A fun layout!

Locomotive Graveyard (OO) is modern image and does what it says on the can.

New Bridge Street (OO) has a loco shed somewhere in London, with tube trains running below.

Plant City (HO) is again familiar, but with lots of cameos to spot on the layout, and relaxed US style switching to watch.

Finally, Queen Charlotte Dock (O).  I’ve watched the progress on this layout over the past year or so, and its really coming together as an interesting smallish gauge O layout.

Hopefully, I’m off to the Tolworth show on Saturday morning, so I’ll be able to post a few of my own photos from there.  It will be the first show that I’ve got to since I did my shoulder – I’ve missed a few good ones so it will be good to get back on the circuit.
