SEM63A Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Between major updates, we will add information as we go. Now we are pleased to say that there will be another chance to see Alloa by The Scottish Region Study Group. In what is turning out to be a bit of a theme, we are also going to be exhibiting our own OO Gauge layout depicting Laurencekirk as it was in the late 50s to the mid 60s. This means that along with Blair Atholl Towards Drumochter we will have 3 large OO Gauge models depicting real locations in Scotland. Stan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Legend Posted February 21, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 21, 2017 Intrigued by Elderslie Station by Ayr MRG. Is this based on Elderslie between Paisley and Johnstone? Do hope so .i remember an OO one from the Renfrewshire MRC highlight of model railway shows in the 70s . I note that this one is 7mm though. Looking forward to it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do hope so .i remember an OO one from the Renfrewshire MRC highlight of model railway shows in the 70s . I note that this one is 7mm though. Looking forward to it Hi Legend, the station buildings are based on Elderslie and are pretty accurate. The layout also has the two island platform arrangement of Elderslie but because of space restrictions there isn't enough room to show the junctions at either end. I saw the layout at Glasgow and was very impressed with the running and the stock, anything from G&SWR to BR Blue and operated at sensible speeds too. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
