Hastings Model Rail Show 2025

A few more pictures from Allan of the Model Rail Quest inspired Hastings show.  First and foremost, good to see John Brightwell and Alpenbahn (N) on the road again.

I’ve a soft spot for Melin Dolrhyd (OO9).  A simple oval of track, but based on a real location.  It’s the perfect spot to watch the trains go by (or wait for them to go by in this photo!)

 

Compass Point (OO9) stands out for the modelling of the coastal scenery.

The Yard (O) is always worth a look, for shunting, and working vehicles and cranes.

A busy terminus at Braemuir (N).

Gilly North’s Staffordshire Potteries (and end loops) in N.

American N with Sarah’s Falls.

And a few of Ian’s Small ‘n’ Working layouts in almost any case imaginable! 

Dawn Quest does seem to have a soft spot for novelty layouts.  I’d normally ignore them, but Tsuriito (HO) seems to have underwater (in tunnel I think) tracks and real goldfish.  Full marks for audacity but I hope it doesn’t catch on.  A scale model of the Channel Tunnel for Stuttgart (a scale one, not Derek’s short section!)
