The last selection from Canterbury, completing our visit to an excellent show.
Arnold Layne (O) gets my award for the best layout name (Google it if you want to hear some excellent music!) It’s a small (for O gauge) branch terminus and goods yard.
Busy N gauge action on Barnwood.
Cement Works (OO9) does what it says on the can. Some good industrial modelling, and again, a narrow gauge layout with ‘purpose’.
Nonington Quay (OO) is a Canterbury club layout, originally devised for the younger members. After a recent refresh, it’s good to see it running pre-grouping GER stock, mostly commercially available. I wish these models were there when I was in my late teens, when the GER was a favourite line.
Shepherdswell (OO) models the East Kent Railway location of that name. The engine shed contains lots of interesting industrial locomotives.
And finally, The Victory (OO), a little light railway terminus. It’s interesting in that it is set close to eye level (about 5′) and can be viewed from all sides.
Well, that’s Canterbury for this year. Next Saturday I hope to be on the road again for another good show – Southampton. Unfortunately, Allan’s milk rounds didn’t go that far south, so breakfast is less likely to happen.
