More from the frozen north! 

Bron Hebog (OO9) was probably the best layout in the show (a difficult choice as there seemed to be such a fine selection.)  An expansive layout captures trains in the landscape near Beddgelert station on the Welsh Highland Railway.  And some lovely rolling stock…

In contrast, the historic Dundreich (OO9), possibly the first narrow gauge layout ever built.  It is the last surviving remnant of P D Hancock’s ground breaking Craig & Mertonford Light Railway, started in 1949 (and rebuilt several times.)

Staying with history, the Ffarquhar Branch (OO) is the original Thomas layout. It is almost 80 years old and is normally housed in the museum at the Talyllyn Railway.

Continuing with the ‘retro’ feel, Leighmoor Bois (OO) is unashamedly 3-rail Hornby-Dublo, and none the worse for that!

Last for today, the Manchester “Big Trams” (5/8”/ft, track gauge: 2 7/16”).  

One more set of photos to come.
