Hi All My April Railway Modeller popped through the letter box today with some nice photos of Bramblewick. Confirms that it will be the last show and that the layout is for sale. Details stevebarnfield@hotmail.com. Frank

I see there are a couple of photos of Bramblewick in the latest edition of Model Railway Journal. The write up also confirms that York show will be the last and the last chance to see this wonderfully iconic layout. As it's for sale, I wonder what the sale price will be. I bet that it will be way out of my price range and remembering that it is quite a long layout, about 40' I think finding somewhere to set it up might also be a problem. I hope that there is someone out there who can and will take it on. I would hate to see such a wonderful layout broken up and burnt. Hope to see some of you all at York. All the best Frank

Yes, so do I. i've just joined RM Web and found this topic. There is no doubt in my mind that 'Bramblewick' is the best layout of its type I've ever seen. I understand that Tom Harland was a very good landscape painter and Bramblewick reflects this. The 'railway in a landscape' approach is very well done and seems like a 3D painting. I'm sure that many modellers will make a special visit to York show to see this wonderful layout. I don't know what the entrance fee will be at the show but it will be worth it just to see Bramblewick one more time. I should think that many feel the same. See you there. Frank PS Any pics Andrew?
