Rob McM Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 I'm restarting the Bossington topic, a layout that is now owned by the Oxford group. It is a classic design and provides lots of operational options. Does any contributor remember it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold ROSSPOP Posted July 23, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 23, 2022 Just found this topic. I remember Bossington from a model railway exhibition in Bedford either at the Corn Exchange or at Mander College around 1977 I think. I was in my late 20`s. Also at the same exhibition was Barry Norman and his Wyndlesham Cove layout. I ventured into EM gauge for a short period following the exhibition. Although the name Bossington had eluded me, all these years, until I came across the recent article about the layout in October 2021 RM magazine. But the memory of a layout with perfect running to a taped commentary with working signals has stayed with me since then. I even remember commending Mr Eden on his fine layout and stayed watching it for it`s whole sequence and a few more times before I went home.. It has always been an ambition to emulate such a GWR layout but it has taken me all these years of railway modelling in many gauges to almost get there aged 71 !! Although I hav`nt attempted a recording !!! yet ! John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
