Sadly can't make it this year because of work :dontknow:  but GWR-Fanatic of this parish will be taking Fiddler's End to the show for its second outing, so say hello to him.  He will have GrahamB with him tomorrow as well :)

I had an enjoyable couple of hours at the show, with a good range of layouts. A quick photo tour of what was there is below; in alphabetical order.

Balnakeil - GN15. Practically everything in this photo has been scratch built.

Little Binfield Light Railway - 0. In the spirit of Col. Stephens.

Bohemia - 00. A taste of the city.

Earl's Court - 00. I liked the multiple units on this interesting layout.

Loftus Road - 00. From this parish; the 377/2 is a really nice model.

Pagham Harbour - 009. I liked the atmosphere of this layout.

Redford Jc - 3mm. I drive through Redford on my way to railway club. Not sure it would ever justify a station, let alone a shed!  :D  I hear shouts of 'but it's not real!'. Yes I know, but it is nice though.

Rixworth Green - EM. I'm sure the owner muttered something about P4 on this layout. More southern Col. Stephens inspired modelling. This one was very simple, but most effective.

Sonne, Sea und Schmalspur - H0e. The German version of Sun, Sea and Sangria...I think the lighting helped with the colourful scene on this.

Souk el Khemis - 009. I like off-beat prototypes, and this little layout is always a pleasure to look at.

Tedbury st Mary - 00. I liked some of the little details on this...particularly the industrial sidings.

Tre Ponti - H0. Fitting as Three Bridges is only a few miles down the road. I have also seen this layout before, and it is really well executed. For me there was the best layout there...

Whatlington - 3mm. Lots of really nice buildings on this one.

 

So, as you can see, a nice selection. Minor criticism was there was just a single N gauge layout, and a number of very similar offerings...only one roundy-roundy for example. That said, if you like Southern (which I do), this has plenty of interest.

Hi there!

 

Just saying a quick message to say that I like the photo you took of my layout, Fiddlers End (Chrythorian Darfod), It captures the station end of the layout really well.

 

Oh and I can confirm that it is the hand of GrahamB in the photo, and not my own (I was off looking for bargains at that moment ;) ) and of course I thought he did very well controlling the layout, we certainly had a great time at the show, and met a lot of great people.

 

Cheers! :D :) ^_^
