Exhibits
Z gauge – NEW – Japanese Trains – 10’ x 4’ - Chris Wright – High speed Japanese at its best with two working waterfalls and lakes plus a fully functioning fairground with seven working rides.
N gauge – NEW – Port Carlyle – 10’ x 10’ – Border Model Railway Society – is a junction station on the London Midland Eastern boundary in the late steam and green/blue diesel era. It has a harbour with goods facilities and a fish quay. The junction leads to an upper station called Marvindale with goods facilities and a dairy.
OOn3 gauge – NEW – Annuscaul – 17’ x 1’5” – Paul Titmus – a narrow gauge masterpiece. The station was found on the well known 3’ gauge ‘Tralee & Dingle Light Railway’ in south-west Ireland.
OO9 gauge – NEW – Castletown – 4’ x 2’ – Andrew Holland – Castletown is a fictional location depicting a small mill town with a fish quay served by a narrow gauge railway. The town and harbour being overlooked by the ruins of a castle - hence the name.
OO9 gauge – NEW – B**** – 6’ x 1’ – Stuart Bass – is a station that serves a hamlet at the head of a valley somewhere in Wales. The railway was built to transport slate from the quarries down to the coast but also to serve the villages along the valley.
OO9 gauge – NEW – A***** – 12’ x 1’ – Andrew Woolass – A Shelf layout in 009, depicting 2 scenes from an imaginary North of England narrow gauge line.
OO – NEW – Dunnlakin – 9’6” x 2’6” - Terry Tasker, Southport MRC – scenic section portrays a through station with two fast lines and two platforms for stopping and passing trains. The third platform line is mainly used as a head shunt for the refuelling point. The top line is used for light industrial and a shuttle service to light industries.
HO – NEW – Bits and Bobs – 14’ x 7’ - Rod Moore – another chance for visitors to take the controls of some vintage models getting a new lease of life
OO gauge – Coppell – 31’ x 11’ – Furness Model Railway Club – The layout represents the West Coast Main Line passing through the fictitious town of Coppell (Lancs). If the name sounds familiar, it’s because the layout is set just south of Coppull, between Preston and Wigan. We’ve just industrialized the area somewhat!
OO gauge – NEW - Brewery Sidings – 4’ x 1’ – Ray O’Neill – a minimum space layout built on a small budget, based around a fictitious location somewhere in south Cumbria, around Ulverston.
OO gauge – NEW – Six Quarters – 7’ x 1’6” – Oliver Turner – based on LOWCA. It’s Autumnal Cumbria and if you had any sense you would be at home in the warm watching the TV. But it is ten years since steam on BR has ended and unfortunately you cannot shake the desire to see hard working steam locomotives, and the National Coal Board is one of the last users of steam engines in the British Isles…
EM gauge – NEW –Winter Croft Mill – 5’7” x 2’ – Andrew Wright – Winter Croft Mill makes bleach, dye and other products for use in the textile industry. Chemicals and fuel come in using a variety of wagon types whilst finished products are transported out mainly in vans and sheeted open wagons.
O gauge – NEW – WC Boggs & Sons – 6’ x 1’6” – Marc Dobson – need we say more?
O gauge – NEW – Londonderry Goods – 9’ x 1’6” –Peter Shields, CDOGG – is an ex-NER/LNER/BR goods yard set somewhere around Sunderland around the early/mid 1960s when steam was being replaced by diesels
O gauge – NEW – The Oil Depot – 26’ x 16’ – Stephen Young, CDOGG– using the new club test track a small section depicts, well, an Oil Depot. Operated using DCC there will be scope for some mainline trains as well.
