I lived in Campsea Ashe when I was down in Suffolk for spell and would love to see more of the layout. Have you got a dedicated thread on here? If not, are there any more photos or details available as I am probaby a little far away to be able to get to Ely for the show? Cheers, David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

south_tyne Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Thanks very much Jaeson, that is great and much appreciated. It looks to be taking shape really well. It'll make a fantastic model with loads of operating potential, what with the mainline and the Framingham branch. Have you made a start on that huge grain warehouse yet?

JaesonPryer Posted March 27, 2019 Author Share Posted March 27, 2019 I'm not actually sure about the grain warehouse but I'm sure some of the committee members will be able to let you know. Regards Jaeson 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andykwilkinson Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Hi all, south_tyne, Chairman of Ely & D MRC here. Sorry for the delay in replying but I got myself in a pickle and lost access to RMWeb - but Andy York's sorted it for me. I owe him a beer! We have not started building Framlingham yet. We wanted to get Wickham Market to a decent state...it's coming on and we're looking forward to showing it at our 41st show on Sat 18th May in Ely. Regarding that, personally I've been recently working on the harvest scene and I'm also mid-way through building the Granary that stood behind the signal box/near the main station building. Couple of pics of the harvest scene attached. You'll see the junction to Framlingham in one of the pics. Since these pics fencing and more trees in Blackstock Wood have appeared too. Also a poster for the show :-) 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Woodcock Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Hello We already have a layout based on Framlingham called Framplington. It is set in 1965 just before closure. Should be in Railway Modeller at some point in he future. Wickham Market looks very fine and I look forward to seeing it at some future date. Cheers George 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wickham Market is starting to look really good, it will make for an absolutely fantastic layout. I hope to see it in the flesh at some point. As I explained, I have a lot of fondness for the location and therefore will try to keep up-to-date with your progress. I hope to see more in due course. All the best for the exhibition in a couple of weeks time. Cheers, David 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andykwilkinson Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 (edited) I've been working on the Granary at Wickham Market and should have it completed by the exhibition on Sat 18th May. Attaching a few photos of work in progress so far. It will eventually have some milling/grading/bagging equipment installed (or maybe I'll go off-piste and put a microbrewery in there ). There will also be an internal stairway and railings around the opening and it will be internally lit by LEDs in the roof...but all that will have to wait until I've got more time in the summer as we're all mega busy with final tweaks of organising the Exhibition, our 41st in Ely, and getting the layout presentable for it's first every showing.

south_tyne Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Impressive stuff Andy. It was a beast of a building mind wasn't it!? When you're standing on the rural backwater that is Wickham Market station now it is hard to imagine the scene from those days.... a junction station with that huge warehouse, extensive sidings and the island platform. Changed beyond all recognition now, not least by the road overbridgs, with the station building (now thankfully back in community use) being the only real point of reference.

andykwilkinson Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 (edited) Found this phone snap - from some time ago. The scenic work in the station area has come on a lot since this but it shows the (truly excellent) model of the station building built by our Exhibition Manager Malcolm Hine. Since this photo we now have the Goods Shed built (by Keith Barker), as well as the cottages that are in the far distance/on the corner of the layout near the coal yard in an advanced stage of construction (by Bob Relmore). Quite a few working signals have also been completed by Jamie Rands too (his farther is building the Airey Houses that were built at the southern end of Wickham Market/near the goods yard). The pond (lower left of pic) and station garden (between the bridge and the station building in the pic) are now pretty well advanced too. It's coming on...now, back to the roof on the Granary. I'm about to insert the chimney! Edited May 6, 2019 by andykwilkinson 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
