Box File Layout, Steve Grantham. OO gauge. Somewhere in England in the 1990s showing what can be achieved with a few box files and a lot of imagination! In addition we can also confirm the following trade support. Caistor Loco, general supplies of locos, rolling stock, scenic items etc. Custom Layout Signs. Laser cut layout nameboards and replicas of loco headboards etc. 4 2 2 Modelmaking. Resin cast building and coach kits. Spotters Collectables. Railway books and memorabilia. Also there will be some second hand items on sale. Finally don't forget there are light refreshments available for sale with plenty of home made cakes and pastries.

mike knowles Posted September 17, 2019 Author Share Posted September 17, 2019 (edited) In preparation for the exhibition we hired one of the large rooms at the town hall last Sunday so we could fully set up all three of the club layouts and give them a good test. To hopefully whet your appetities further here are some photos. Firstly Invermire Cayton Bay Cottingham Note all the layouts are still, works in progress Edited September 17, 2019 by mike knowles 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Bamford Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Yes, hopefully for serious modellers rather than the daft Channel 5 show. Looking forward to the n gauge layouts. Hope I can ask a few questions though? Help often needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also to the people who visited the show, in numbers far greater than we had hoped, particularly given the weather conditions early in the day. The day was a great success which everyone appeared to enjoy immensly. Thank you all again. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
