RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted July 17, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 17, 2017 A couple more layouts appearing at Goathland this year, both minimal space but very scenic N gauge layouts from RMWeb member Kes. Matlock Road Matlock Road is a fictional n gauge layout, featuring a rural terminus station, good yard and private sidings for a coal merchant and a scrapyard. The back scene includes a viaduct which is controlled by a shuttle unit, so something is always on the move. 6 trains can be stored in the fiddle yard, ready to emerge under the viaduct and into the station. The Buildings are old Prototype Models kits, and Metcalfe Industrial buildings modified to suit. The viaduct is a Scalescenes download. There are many magnetic uncouplers so the whole layout can be shunted. The layout is only 39” by 12” and was designed to fit on an ironing board. It has its own inbuilt lighting rig. Four Arches Halt Four Arches is a fictional n gauge layout built in an area of 27” x 24”. It was built as a layout to take away on holiday in my motorhome, and it even folds in half for storage! The single line exits the scene under two bridges which have a canal across them in an aqueduct. It makes a change from the usual bus-on-a-road scenario. Behind the scenes are three lines arranged as loops so three trains can be run in succession. There are magnetic uncouplers, so some shunting is possible. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted July 19, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 19, 2017 One final addition to the layouts list is Ferme Du Pont making a welcome return, a small section allied light railway in northern France towards the end of WW1, modelled in 7mm scale, 14mm gauge. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/10888-ferme-du-pont-wdlr-1918-0-14/?p=2779248 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach bogie Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 (edited) Called in yesterday having visited the NYMR 60's event (which was a tad disappointing, though sad to here the Gresley's were trashed overnight)). Well impressed at the standard of layouts. Kept returning to Rochdale Victoria just to watch then Bury Bug working in and out of the station. Halted just long enough for the driver to walk to the other end, just as it was at Bury before the trams came along. Well done all Mike Wiltshire Edited July 23, 2017 by Coach bogie 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Mark Forrest Posted July 23, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 23, 2017 Had a great weekend at the show exhibiting Fryers Lane.

RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted July 24, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 24, 2017 Well that's the Goathland show over for another year, and a very enjoyable and successful one it was, marred only by the sad news of the destruction up the line at Pickering. We had one of our best attendances yet and there wasn't a quiet moment all weekend. Anyway, thank you to all who attended and we hope you all enjoyed the show, for those who couldn't get, here's a few photos of some of the layouts. Wainthrop Bridge. Rochdale Victoria. Ferme du Pont. More to follow. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Mr.S.corn78 Posted July 24, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 24, 2017 HI All, Just wanted to say big thank you to Paul and the Whitby & district club and all the helpers that gave up their time. The Wainthrop Team had a great weekend and one show that i always look forward to exhibiting at as we always have a good laugh, great food, great cakes and a short walk to the other end of the Village (via the ice cream shop) to see the full sized stuff. Thanks again and look forward to exhibiting there again. Cheers Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
