Ealing Road, Photograph Courtesy of Knickerbockerglory TV Confirmed Layouts: 7mm Scale Central Works O Gauge, Exhibited by Luton Model Railway Club, The location is based on the intense network of sidings that once existed at Longbridge, Birmingham. This enables us to run a great variety of locos and stock from the late 1950s through to the 1960s. Grange West Tramway O-16.5 Gauge, Exhibited by John Dean, The layout is a fictitious narrow gauge system situated in the middle of England. It is modelled in O-16.5 (7mm) and depicts Beldam Road Station on a non tramway section. 4mm Scale Canute Road Quay, OO Gauge, Exhibited by Graham ‘Muz’ Muspratt, Canute Road Quay is a dock / quayside layout located somewhere around the Canute Road area within Southampton Docks operated primarily by the Southern Railway between 1946 to 1949. Occasionally it can be operated in different eras such as early or late British Railways periods. Ealing Road, OO Gauge, Exhibited by Missenden Modellers, Built for the Channel 5 TV series 'The Great Model Railway Challenge', the theme of the heat was ‘Movies’ and the team opted to base theirs on a medley of the Ealing Studios films of the early fifties.

ANT Posted February 24, 2019 Author Share Posted February 24, 2019 Hello All Thankyou for those of you that attended Risex 2019, we have had a very successful exhibition, and we could not have done this without all your support. Also a big thankyou to the layouts, traders, societies and demos that attended, I think we have got the right balance of scales, gauges and eras, with something for everyone. Plus of course all our Club Members that helped out on the day. Thanks SEEYA ANT Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnb Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Was there with my Salinas Valley and had a very good day out. Was well looked after by the organisers when my co-operator had to go home ill, leaving me on my own. Fortunately a 5ft long US switching layout is easy to run single handed. Thank you all at RDMRC for that help. A good lunch was had and the cakes were well up to expectations! The show is always as good one and last Saturday was no exception to that. Well done all John 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
