We are delighted to announce that Airthrey Park owned by Andrew Donnelly and exhibited by the new modern image group in Scotland 'SDEG' will have its only outing of 2015 at Ayr Show. This layout has been featured in magazines on 3 different occasions and is always well received by those of us with a penchant for the halcyon BR Blue days in Scotland. Large logo 37s and DBSOs and Stripey Shove Duffs abound!! Noisy too!!

A few of Airthrey Park's 'pets' Namely. The Judith Edge 06 (which was never executed!) The 150 prototype (Bachmann cut and shut), The 140 which is MTK in origin and the wreck of 25038 which WAS a Scottish scrapper (at Polmadie) for years...... Come and see them in action at Ayr Show in a few weeks. The 06 built be a friend of 158722s the 150 was built be Andrew (158722 himself) The 140 built by Andy Elliott our late and great friend who inspired the layout. The 25 was a Malcolm Donnelly painted and detailed wreck actually based on a Hornby 25 (it has no motor) and inspired by pictures of the loco languishing at Polmadie and or Glasgow works for years.

Hello All,

 

Just a quick note from Perth! Fastleigh is ready to go to Ayr and we are looking forward to visiting again. I have been busy installing my new wireless Gaugemaster DCC controllers and mastering the art of power districts. The visitor will see that this layout is operated without barriers so you can get really close to the layout and the operators. Please feel free to ask as many questions as you can and if you want to have a go please ask. 

 

The Perth crew are looking forward to this show as always and look out soon for a few photos of Fastleigh on this forum.

A nice little exhibition. Well laid out . True I'd seen most of the layouts before , but still worth a wee day trip to Ayr . A nice demonstration of gravity shunting on Inverboyndie . Tried to convince me it was on a slope........aye right!

Hi Stephen,

Thanks from all at Perth & District MRC for a great weekend. Thanks also for allowing me to exhibit Fastleigh. The show featured many high quality layouts and it was great to be part of it. Looking forward to next year already!

Hi All,

 

Good to see plenty of familiar faces at Ayr over the weekend....

 

Nice to have a good selection of some of the top layouts that represented 'Modern Modelling' in the best possible light. Stephen and the club are to be congratulated on achieving such a high standard of show.

 

Now - Stephen has a challenge for next year....

 

How to make it better again or at least have the same quality!

 

N Gauge modern layout?

 

O gauge modern layout?

 

Something totally different but outstanding?

 

Over to you Stephen!

 

Thanks

Hi Stephen,

 

Just wanted to say thanks to you and the rest of the Ayr club for inviting Rannoch and for the usual friendly banter. Excellent show and look forward to next next year. Nice to spend time catching up with everyone and chatting to all the visitors to the show.

 

Thanks to all who helped on the layout this weekend from our group Scottish Modellers and DEMU.

 

Mark
