Mike J Posted August 2, 2013 Author Share Posted August 2, 2013 We're very pleased to have Rumbling Bridge at our little gathering this year, fresh from it's trophy winning effort at Hartlepool. Voted best DCC model in the show, the layout depicts this rural Scottish station in the 1960's, and features sound on all locomotives, weathered and detailed stock, working semaphore signals and some beautifully created scenery and buildings. This is only it's third outing and the model is still receiving finishing touches to make it even better. Built by Nick Skelton with help from SDRM members, we think it's his best yet and not to be missed. Photos and video on the club website here. http://sdrmweb.co.uk/Rumbling_Bridge.php Thanks for looking in, Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayvid Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Hi Mike After what has been a very busy year for the SDRM club our annual show is almost upon us. For the organising team all the negotiations (lots !) ,planning (lots !) and drinking ( !!! ) are almost over. Nick Skeltons Rumbling bridge is superb and his eye for detail has been carried through in his choice of exhibiting layouts for this years show. Dianne and I are thrilled to be part of this years event once again with the Glenngary tramway and will be in our usual place in the foyer. Since its last outing the tramway has had a lot of new features added; A video camera and screen has been fitted to give a drivers eye view of the incline,Water tanks and filling equipment has been modelled as this aspect of cliff lifts promoted most comment from the visitors. Last year Mike did a tour of the show with a local radio presenter i wonder if he will go one better with a TV film crew this year,Mmmm better get my hair cut just in case.

Gary Thanks for the plug Gary...you beat me to the update about your layout...and made a better job of it than I would have. This is one of two layouts in the show that the public can 'drive'. The other one is our new Thomas layout...built by...Nick Skelton. He has been busy this year! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike J Posted August 4, 2013 Author Share Posted August 4, 2013 The third floor of the exhibition is this year devoted to industry and has three layouts with a common theme, exhibited by friends of SDRM, Alan Wardman, Paul Gallon and Whitby MRC. Kozel Cement is an inglenook design modelled in HO scale and depicts wagons being sorted under silos and loading hoppers close to the Polish/German border. The layout is dcc operated with sound fitted to some of the locomotives. We move to Cleveland and EM gauge for Greyscroft mine, with it's superb scratch built buildings, including winding house, boiler house, water mill and railway structures. Kit and scratch built locomotives and rolling stock carry Ironstone to feed the local furnaces. O gauge is the scale for the Wensleydale Cement and Lime Company layout which again features many scratch built items and once again shows how industry can still be depicted in a beautiful model. Visitors with an interest in industrial railways are sure to spend a long time on this floor of the exhibition. Thanks for looking in, Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike J Posted August 8, 2013 Author Share Posted August 8, 2013 It will be our pleasure to finally welcome Steve Farrow and 'Pen-Y-Madoc' to the show after circumstances forced a withdrawal last year. Featured in last months BRM, the EM scale layout is a bit of GWR Welsh 'might have been' and features a beautifully modelled timber trestle bridge, scratch built buildings and detailed and modified rtr locomotives and rolling stock. Steve has also created a history for the layout, depicting the summer of 1938 with dwindling freight traffic and holiday specials. So, this year Pen-Y-Madoc will be at Pickering...all good things come to he who waits! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Worsdell forever Posted August 8, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 8, 2013 Work is progressing well on Greyscroft Mine, the new lighting rig should be sorted by tomorrow night and the mine headgear is coming on well. Wensleydale Cement looked good at the club last night, just a few little jobs to complete on that next Wednesday night. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike J Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 One week to go. Unfortunately DPP models and All Change (both trade) will be absent from the show. All the layouts booked will be there, including Dragonby in N gauge. This all action layout set in the privatisation era features mainly rtr stock, suitably weathered, including HSTs and Voyagers, as well as classes 37, 47, 57, 60, 66, 67, 150, 153, 156, 158, and 170. So if the modern era and scale length trains are what floats your boat, then a trip to Dragonby could be just the ticket. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike J Posted August 13, 2013 Author Share Posted August 13, 2013 One track, twisted and dirty...no, not my mind, but narrow gauge! Our 009 offering is Waterhouses and Longnor, based on the 2'6" gauge Leek and Manifold light railway. This L shaped layout is designed to maximise viewing angles and show just what can be achieved in a relatively confined space. Steam, diesel, passenger and freight will be seen running on this fictional extension to the original line, modelled in the preservation era of the 1960s.

Mike J Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 Coombe Martin in OO shows just what can be achieved in a small space, in a short period of time, utilising all the skills required to complete a model railway. The layout depicts a small single line station on the South Devon / Dorset border just before the Beeching axe swept many of them away for good. Steam traction is still extant, and the two road goods yard and loading dock are served by increasingly infrequent pick-ups. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike J Posted August 16, 2013 Author Share Posted August 16, 2013 Just about ready to head off to Pickering. Greyscroft fits in the van nicely. IMGP7644-001.JPG ...and it looks great all set up Paul. The new pit head winding tower and lighting pelmet really do look good 'in the flesh'. Most of the other layouts are now set up, with just the Saturday arrivals to come. I am impressed with the standard of our layouts and must congratulate our show manager Nick Skelton on a fine selection. A minor crisis with the booked accommodation has been sorted, so it's all systems go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayvid Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 The Glenngary Tramway is all set up and ready for the exhibition tomorrow with only a switch wire requiring the attention of a soldering iron. Following the success of last years free to enter "Guess the distance travelled by the tram cars" competition we are running it again this year . The electronic timers have been reset and we are using a alternative operating procedure so this will result in a final total somewhat different to last year. SDRM chairman Mike J is not operating a layout this year so will be circulating,so please be gentle with him as I don't know if its been mentioned but he's a grandad now !!!

PLD Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Over the past few years, SDMRS have established a reputation for putting on a friendly, high quality little show, and this years offering certainly lived up to that. A very good selection of layouts - difficult to pick any significant fault with any of them; trade was perhaps a little patchy but all the basics were covered. While shows like Pickering can never compete with the bigger offerings on pure numbers, they are so much friendlier and relaxing... Thanks Guys.
