Ladycross is the new BR Southern Region steam layout from Hull MRS.  Set in  the summer of 1962 - Southern steam experts will know why - at an imaginary station in the middle of the New Forest.  We are bringing it to the York show at Easter 2019 and we'd love to meet anyone there who shares the interest in Southern Region steam.  Actually that's only 3 of our group but the others will point you in our direction !

In the past I've failed miserably to get photos onto RMWeb.  Hopefully these will work - apologies if not.  A few more if they do.

I think that credit should be given to Steve Batty for the magnificent station building and warehouse.  If anyone thinks they might recognise the station, I showed Steve some photos of the stations at New Milton and Hinton Admiral and told him it needed to be reversed.  He did the rest including measurements by counting bricks !  Similarly the warehouse is an amalgam of two or three SCATS warehouses in the Hampshire area. that we could find photos of. 

The layout has had one outing so far at the 2017 Hull Show.  Since then we've done quite a bit of work on it, especially in the fiddle yard.  We are booked in York at Easter and there are tentative discussions about it being at Hull Show again in November.  We'll see.

Building up to York show.  Only two and a bit weeks to go.  If you're into Southern steam in 1962 please come and talk to us.  If you're not, please come and talk to us.  Basically please come and talk to us - and watch some trains go by.
