Uckfield MRC exhibition 2025 #2

Flintfield (P4) is a delightful Great Eastern Railway branch terminus.  Built in the Netherlands, it now resides in Uckfield.  There are some fun animations to look out for, including the swimming swan and the circling seagull (not animated to swoop on any passing chips…)

A little finescale TT on Linfield.

Devil’s Bridge (009), with multiple versions of the same locomotives!

St Oswalds (O-16.5).

Moving upstairs, there were the Scalefour and 2mm finescale rooms.   First, two tiny 2mm layouts.  Ley Hill, a giant 4′ x 1′ was built in the 1980’s.

Mick Simpson’s Callaton is even smaller….

The Caledonian Goods and Coal Yard has escaped from Copenhagen Fields.  Great to see a distant part of that layout close up.

And some fine 2mm locomotives.

And the Scalefour layouts.  Laxfield….

And Fryers Lane….

And finally, an American interloper, Broken Creek (HO).

I had been disappointed not to be able to take breakfast with the other ESNG members at the show, but was delighted to find that it was an All Day Breakfast.  It would have been rude not to, and a good thing I did, as Maxine had gone out to lunch and there was nothing waiting for me when I got home!
