EM 70’s December update

I was interested to see Pete Johnson's drawings of his proposed Holyhead breakwater layout. I think it is a pity he didn't finish the layout as I think it would have been well received at most exhibitions. I have built and exhibited a couple of layouts based on obscure prototypes with limited operational scope and found plenty of people interested. Not everyone will be interested - I repeatedly found that those interested enough to ask questions or comment were either modellers with an intelligent interest or non-modeller general public who could see the layouts were something different and liked the look of them. Aiming to satisfy the masses doesn't often result in good layouts, although fortunately for us Canada Road and Canada Street are still not completely mainstream and are certainly good layouts.
