Phil Copleston Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 (edited) S SCALE EXHIBITION DIARY - where you can see S scale at forthcoming shows (regularly updated): S scale layout bookings and events for 2015-16 are shown. If you haven't seen a working S scale layout before, get to see one at the following exhibitions! 2017 S scale layouts are a bit thin on the ground this year (after retirement of several other well-known layouts). But I do know that more are under construction! Nevertheless, this is how the S scale diary currently looks... Listings for 2017 being updated... (please check back later. Ta.) NOTE: THIS LIST IS UPDATED REGULARLY AS NEW EXHIBITION DATES BECOME KNOWN - so please tell me of corrections and check back frequently!

Flying Fox 34F Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Dear All, Visited the show at Doncaster yesterday. Glad to see East Lynn and Nunstanton. Made my day. Last saw it at Spalding when Trevor retired it the last time. Trevor mentioned that this was the last outing though. Trowland only from now on. Here's to future open days, (hopefully). Finally, thanks to Jim and Trevor for getting my track order to me. Time to construct my test bed layout. Paul 4475 p.s. Trowland will be at Ally Pally. Enjoy the M&GN 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orange Cat Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I think that, above any other, is the layout I would love to have seen but never did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Copleston Posted February 13, 2017 Author Share Posted February 13, 2017 (edited) In my humble opinion, Trevor Nunn's 'East Lynn & Nunstanton' layout is truly one of the best model-railways (in any scale) ever built. Period. Not just that it is entirely scratchbuilt by one man, nor that is works beautifully and prototypically, but also that it is great fun to operate. This is a good old fashioned model railway! For me, it also illustrates the point that backscenes are not de rigueur, nor is a proscenium arch presentation. It looks and works absolutely fine as it is. It also depicts a long portion of railway with three distinct scenes (quayside scene, East Lynn station and Nunstanton station) and a minimum of hidden fiddleyard trackage (three short traintables). All too often in this country we see layouts limited to depicting an individual station rather than sweeping portions of a railway (as our North American cousins do). The fact that the locations of 'East Lynn & Nunstanton' are entirely fictitious is quite incidental! It may no longer be on the exhibition circuit, but if you are a member of the S Scale MRS the opportunity occasionally arises to play with 'East Lynn & Nunstanton' at Trevor's home-meetings now and again. Thank you Trevor for all the years of enjoyable watching and operating your train set! Edited February 13, 2017 by Phil Copleston 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob R Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 (edited) Below is a list of S Scale layout appearances for 2023. Please come and make yourselves known to the operators, we won't press gang you into re-scaling (but you will be more than welcome to come and dabble in the 1/64 world). As always, Life, the Universe and Everything can waylay the best laid plans so please do check if you are travelling some distance just to see one of these layouts (I am sure the shows will still be worth the visit even without the S Scale bit).
