Minnie Bridge, John Baggaley

Set in the late 1960s/early 1970s the layout represents a small London Transport loco and minor permanent way depot in a fictitious location ‘Somewhere-in-London’.
This layout is based on the assumption that in the late 1930s London Transport inherited a former mainline railway’s goods depot somewhere on the northern side of the Circle Line between Kings Cross and Moorgate. In reality, there is not really any such location, but the aim is to give a compact shunting layout capable of running LT pannier locos, Met electrics and some service stock.

Oakley Green, Jamie and Luke Mathlin

Oakley Green is a OO layout set in the middle of the 1970s, primarily Southern Region, but the odd Northern invader. The Parcel Depot is based on sheds found at Waterloo at the time, the oil depot is loosely based around Micheldever near Winchester and the service depot is based on the works at Eastleigh at the time, it is fully DCC and all locos have sound.

The layout live streams to either Youtube or Facebook and Luke will be talking about how this is done and what is required to make that happen.

Jamie will also be talking about and demonstrating his unique photographic styles.

MERG

Founded in 1967, the Model Railway Electronics Group actively promotes and advances the use of electronic and computer technology for model railway operation, whatever the era.
Model railways are ideally suited to take advantage of these technologies, and the application of electronics and computers can be used to good effect to add enhanced features and realism to model railway operation.
There will be explanations and demonstrations of railway electronics, kits along with soldering and kit construction techniques.
