A fourth, and perhaps (!) the last report from Abrail.  I review the remaining layouts before deciding on another post.  It does show how good an exhibition this was – and there were still another few layouts that I didn’t feel inclined to fight the crowd to get a look.  Today, we’ll start with another familiar layout, Leicester Belgrave Road (OO).  The Great Northern terminus in Leicester is modelled near to closure.  I’ve always liked the way the line is looped around to get to the fiddle yard – making room for the yards and looking quite realistic.

Some US railroading with the Port Washington Terminal Railroad.

Broadwell (OO) has some interesting cameos – I’ve never seen carriage cleaning modelled before.  There’s also a fine station building and bascule bridge.

Oulton TMD (OO).

A pleasant little bit of OO9 with Llanfair Rhyd.  (Especially the authentic north Wales sky!)

And a smattering of pictures from some of the other layouts.

I will stop at this point, as most of the other layouts I’ve got photos of have appeared on the blog from other exhibitions.  All in all, an excellent show, and worth the effort to get there.
