Is that the Dave Rowe who built Under Milk Wood, Leighton Buzzard, Exbridge Quay, etc?

 

Certainly is... Those layouts have recently featured in our sister magazine British Railway Modelling. Three of them, including Under Milk Wood, are now cared for by John Forman of the Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway. They were donated to I think the Welsh Development agency as a promotional tool and some years later the Agency decided they were no longer of use. The bloke disposing of them had an idea of dropping in to Llanfair to ask if the railway might have any use for these old layouts before he took them to a skip (!), and very luckily John just happened to be on duty that day!
