WOMBATTY Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 The future of Warren Lane As this thread approaches 250,000 hits it seems like a good time to share our plans for Warren lane Over the last few weeks Maggie and I have discussed the future and have come to the conclusion that we haven’t room for another large layout. Warren Lane is kept in our neighbour’s garage and only comes out for exhibitions. Our neighbour is approaching 90 and is in poor health so the future housing of Warren lane or any future layout is in doubt. With this in Mind we have shelved plans for Warren lane 2 and 2015 will be the current Warren lanes last year on the Exhibition circuit …. But what a final year its going to be. Warren Lanes 2015 The “Cockney Rebel Tour” Starts in March with Ally Pally then on the 23/4 May RAILEX The following weekend its the very special 21st Annervsary DEMU Showcase And finally November its Warley Not a bad way to say goodbye Why Cockney Rebel Well To make it a special year we are taking the layout back to the 90’s Gone are the Freightliner 70’s 66’s to be replaced with Rfd 47’s and 37’s We will be running 4 pairs of 37’s from Stratford’s 1989 LNRA pool working, plus the occasional 47 If nothing else it will be a noisy send off. So make sure you come and say Hello Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold roundhouse Posted December 4, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 4, 2014 Its a shame that all good things come to an end but certainly is a good way for it to bow out with those shows. We will be at Allly Pally and Warley next year with layouts, so look forward to seeing the layout again at those shows if we dont make the others.

sdw7300 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 This is probably one of the only layouts on my bucket list that I have not managed to see yet. However DEMU & Warley are shows I regularly visit so I'm very much hoping to catch it before retirement! Really looking forward to seeing some Rfd 37's! All the best Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nathan9117 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I have not yet seen Warren Lane in person but would love to see it at least once in 2015 hopefully I can get down to the Warley show and come see it before it goes. What a fantastic layout none the less. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
