Eaton Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 Picking up my copy of the BRM this morning I see that Bob Jones's 2mm masterpiece 'Fence Houses' is to feature in the June issue available from 8th May. If this article wets your appetite you will be able to stand in front of the real thing on the weekend of 7th & 8th June. 'Fence Houses' is a must see layout, one of those layouts that represent the pinnacle of the hobby. I am not alone in my opinion as on the number of occasions I have seen it, there has always been a crowd of at least three deep intently watching the trains run along its length. The Victoria Viaduct, (see Bob Jones photograph below) which is somewhat away from the action, being at one end, is a wonderful piece of miniature modelling.

Eaton Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 Coming from a Pre-Grouping background of little tank engines and small 4-4-0's these seem big beasts. Even on a model railway you suspect they could do serious damage if they derailed at speed. Obviously derailment do not happen on Thorne Yard and Loch Dour so we should all be safe.

Eaton Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 Added to the layout list is Terry Tasker's 'The Circle Line' which is an N gauge layout of the 1990 to 2000 period. This makes the total 40 and 15 are Diesel or Electric. There is another reason for attending model railway exhibitions and that is to tune into the Grapevine/Rumour Mill. This phenomenon predates twitter and facebook but is unfortunately not as reliable. Therefore having attended York and tuned into the rumours concerning our exhibition I can confirm the following. Rumour 1 has no basis in truth, Rumour 2 is incorrect on both counts, Rumour 3 is laughably incorrect and Rumour 4 may have a grain of truth albeit that the grain is microscopic. I hope that clarifies the situation. Can all these really be started by Charlie? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevpeo Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I did hear a rumour. But I don't know if it was 1,2,3 or 4. Or a part of all four. Now I'm just confused!!!! Kev. edit - It was rumour 4! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eaton Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 Tell me what it was, it may even be a new Rumour 5. Either way it will probably worth a laugh!! As to being confused one suspects that this is the very point of all these rumours. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

87023Velocity Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 It will be good to see Leavesdon in the flesh, hopefully it will inspire me to get my 7mm MMP class 56 finished. Cheers Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eaton Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 Check out 'Fence Houses' in the June issue of the BRM, it is the featured layout. Then see the real thing at Wigan on the 7th & 8th June. It is mighty impressive!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eaton Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 So you want a continuous run layout in 7' 6" x 7' 6", can it be done. See 'The Circle Line', Terry Tasker's exercise in getting a lot into a little. The photograph is by Derek Shore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
