Onward, ever onward.  There’s still plenty to share from this excellent show!  My best layout name in show was ‘Hartburn’ (EM), which is a real place in Northumbria.  Which does lead onto the subject of strange or rather rude names for layouts.  I’ve always liked the ideal of the ‘Queen Camel’ branch, one of many Camels on the eastern edge of Dorset.  Anyhow, back to Hartburn…..  My sort of the layout,. and I liked the bleak backscene.

Rossiter Rise (OO) is a regular sight at exhibitions at the moment, and for good reason.  Due to the layout location, I think, we had the extra treat of inspecting the fiddle yard.  I’d like to record that the elderly gent in the background is NOT one of our younger club members….

 Another of my favourites, appearing again, is Harton Gill (P4).  Excellent industrial scenery and those strange Harton overhead electrics.

Let’s return to the 2mm room.  St Ruth is again familiar, a fine layout based on Penzance.

And another slice of seaside, with Burnham-on-Sea.  Note the fiddle yard using brass strip for rail – a common 2mm finescale trick, from when you had to scratchbuild your track.

And to finish for the day, two N gauge layouts, the large Newvaddon Parkway, and the très petit Verneuil-les-Vignes.
