Once again this year sees the inclusion of Scalefour Southeast, a Scalefour Society regional event. Featuring the Society's Publicity Stand and the Scalefour Stores, along with four P4 layouts and a full schedule of demonstrations that should appeal to railway modellers of all scales and skills. We will also have the 2mm Association Roadshow in attendance, featuring the Association sales and membership stand along with three 2mm finescale layouts for you to enjoy.
Also of interest is the debut of Giles Favell's latest creation, Nettlebed Lime, in 16mm/ft scale 32mm gauge (SM-32). The layout features radio controlled steam effect locomotives and various animatronic figures - look out for their heads turning to face the direction of travel. We also have Conyer Creek Signals from Greg Coomber making its second exhibition outing. An article on the layout is due to appear in the next MRJ - No 307.
