    I visited the Warley Model Railway exhibition a few days ago, at the NEC in Birmngham. I saw some impressive layouts and some interesting new products too. There were some layouts, of course that were less than impressive, but we won't talk anout those, one must not speak ill of the ....., well you know the rest!
     
    I purchased a few items, as one does, my star purchase was a reel of real solder. I've been using the lead free variety for several years, with excellent results, but oh the Paradisal Pleasure, of using the real thing!
     

     
    I'm now positivly looking forward to building the pointwork for Holloway Goods.

    @ the Canterbury Exhibition, there was an interesting N Gauge micro Layout. The link below displays a short video.

    Eastgate backscene design challenge
     
    We require a backscene for the modern image layout ‘Eastgate’ and your task is to design One.
     
    You don’t need to consider the depth of the buildings, just their outline dimensions and what building you envisage would be in the centre of a Northern industrial town in the 1980’s or 90’s.
     
    You should be able to find plenty of images on the Internet, for inspiration!
     
    Eastgate station board is 60” by 15”, that's 1520 mm by 380 mm approx. You are required to draw you plan to scale. The height of the proposed backscene is 10”or 254 mm.
     
    Your design can range from a simple outline drawing to a fully coloured in design. You must provide such notes as required to enable the reader to understand your design.
     
    You can if you wish draw your outline to 3mm to the foot. This is called foreced perspective and has the effect pf making the building appear further way and thus make the baseboard, modelled area, appear larger.
     
    This task is not limited to member of the Eastgate group, but any member of the RMWeb is encouraged to submit a design.
     
    PS you don’t need to include a car park, as one will be modelled at the end of the station platforms on the baseboard 2.
     

     
    We look forward to seeing your proposed designs.
