Thanks, Paul Rowlatt, for letting me post pictures of Redcar model rail, held on 3-4 August.  A bit of a photo-dump, but I’ve gleaned a few layout descriptions from the web…. Fiddle Street Yard (OO).  Note the hinged front that … Continue reading →

[Whoops, title corrected!] I had the offer of a lift to the Shoeburyness (nearly Southend) MRC layout, but turned it down.  I let Messrs Dawes and Atfield go, and Allan sent me some photos of some of the layouts.  I … Continue reading →

And a final selection from the show.  There were quite a few layouts that I didn’t capture, but I think that I caught all the interesting ones, and for good measure those worth a quick look. Bocksley Town (N) is … Continue reading →

Here we go again with a third set of layouts from the Chatham show… First, Northport Quay, David Holman’s cameo layout set in County Mayo.  7mm/ft, and real 5’3″ gauge – with handbuilt track to 36.75mm.  Good scratchbuilding, and that … Continue reading →

Well, not that wild.  Just a visit to the Gauge O Guild Summer Show.  It was not far away at Kempton Park Racecourse, and although mainly a trade show, there were some layouts to look at as well.  Having bought … Continue reading →
