===== 7mm Scale =====

<WRAP round box>

==== The Yard ====

{{:railex26:the_yard_04_cmartin_coombs.jpeg?nolink&400|}}

Built to 7 mm scale, track gauges of 32 mm and 16.5 mm. An entirely freelance industrial type railway, featuring standard and narrow gauge trains fitted with sound, radio controlled gantry crane and lorries. All the buildings are scratch built from MDF, cut on a laser cutter.

//Exhibited by Martin Coombs//

</WRAP>

<WRAP round box>

==== Bowaters Paper Mill ====

{{:railex26:bowaters_cjackie_kneeshaw_1.png?nolink&400|}}

An O16.5 layout. All buildings are scratch built, all locos are scratch built or modified brass kits, and all rolling stock is 3D printed. Control of locos and turnouts is DCC, and route selection is via a mimic diagram on touchscreens, phones or tablets.

// Exhibited by St Neots MRC //

</WRAP>

===== S Scale - 1:64 (3/16" to the foot) =====


<WRAP round box>

==== Arcadia ====

{{:railex26:arcadia_cbrm_phil_parker_6.jpg?nolink&400|}}

Arcadia is fictitious but inspired by the 1900 Rother Valley Railway, later the KESR. Stock is from parts supplied by the S Scale Society, from etches or 3D prints and with some items scratch built. With the carriage and locomotive sheds accessed from the fiddle yard, the visible section is just over 4 feet.

// Exhibited by Richard Barton //

<WRAP round box>

==== Blakey Rigg ====

{{:railex26:blakey_rigg_4_-_c_adrian_colenutt.jpg?nolink&400|}}

Blakey Rigg straddled Rosedale and Farndale and was the site of Blakey Junction high up on the North Yorkshire Moors on the NER’s Rosedale Branch.

//Exhibited by Paul Greene, SSMRC//

</WRAP>

<WRAP round box>

==== East Lynn ====

{{:railex26:east_lynn_csimon_dunkley_4.jpg?nolink&400|}}
 
The late Trevor Nunn’s East Lynn and Quayside is making a rare appearance as part of the S Scale MRS’s 80th anniversary. Set in the late Victorian era and located somewhere on the Great Eastern Railway network along the north Norfolk Coast it is largely built from scratch.

//Exhibited by Simon Dunkley (S Scale MRS)//

</WRAP>

<WRAP round box>

==== Trowland ====

{{:railex26:trowland_cjamie_warne_06.jpg?nolink&400|}}

Trowland is a small corner of the North Norfolk coast at the end of the Nineteenth century modelled in 1/64th scale, commonly called S Scale. Built by the noted S Scale master, Trevor Nunn as a more portable successor to his superb East Lynn and Nunstanton layout, Trowland is now being slowly updated and detailed to demonstrate the possiblities of S in a compact format.

//Exhibited by Robert Rayner (S Scale MRS)//

</WRAP>

===== P4 - 4mm Scale ======

<WRAP round box>

==== Caldershaw ====

{{:railex26:caldershaw_c_graham_broad_15.jpg?nolink&400|}}

Caldershaw shows an imaginary secondary line, in the north of England in the late 1960s. There is steam and diesel, some passenger and lots of freight, all DCC with sound and lights. There is also a private industrial line in the foreground. All built to P4 standards.

//Exhibited by Graham Broad (Carshalton and Sutton MRC)//

</WRAP>

<WRAP round box>

==== Clarenden & Scrubbs Lane ==== 

{{:railex26:clarendon_candy_york_1.jpg?nolink&400|}}

The terminus Clarendon was conceived as a spur off the West London line in Edwardian times served by four companies. Scrubbs Lane has carriage sidings, small coal yard, goods loop and exchange sidings with a private line to an off-stage gasworks.  The operation of the layout is designed around separate drivers and signalman.

//Exhibited by Leamington and Warwick Model Railway Society//

</WRAP>

<WRAP round box>

==== Eccleston ====

{{:railex26:eccleston_csimon_edmunds_2.jpg?nolink&400|}}

The layout is set in the Pre-Grouping period c.1910 when the line would have been busy with frequent passenger services to Preston, Through Goods workings to Lostock Hall and Pilot Goods workings to Croston for Liverpool traffic.

//Exhibited by Martin Neald//

<WRAP round box>


===== EM - 4mm Scale =====

<WRAP round box>

==== Grimesthorp ====

{{:railex26:grimesthorpe_ckarl_crowther_12.jpg?nolink&400|}}

The layout represents a small terminus set in the outskirts of Sheffield around the year 1907. It is built to the original EM gauge of 18.0mm to give me somewhere to run my collection of carriages and wagons that came from the late Sid Stubbs.

//Exhibited by Tony Gee//

</WRAP>

<WRAP round box>

==== Llawryglyn ==== 

{{:railex26:llawryglyn_crichard_loydall_5.jpg?nolink&400|}}

A fictitious (but plausible) station serving Llawryglyn (a real village in rural mid-Wales).  My model represents the station at Llawryglyn in the years around 1910 – 12.  Passenger services terminated here, while the line continued a further ¾ mile to a lead mine.

//Exhibited by Richard Loydall//

</WRAP>

<WRAP round box>

==== Wainthrop Bridge ==== 

{{:layouts:wainthrop_bridge_csimon_howard_2.jpeg?nolink&400|}}

The layout depicted here is an imaginary single track branchline of the LYR based around the late 1920’s; this gives the excuse to run both L&Y and LMS liveries at the same time.

//Exhibited by Simon Howard//

</WRAP>

===== OO - 4mm Scale =====

<WRAP round box>

==== Greenbooth ==== 

{{:railex26:gb_at_york_candy_cooper_1.jpeg?nolink&400|}}

Greenbooth is based upon a proposed L and Y line branching off the Rochdale to Bacup line. Loosely modelled on the industrial exchange sidings at Heap Bridge with an added branch line terminus, the layout strives to capture the Rochdale industrial outskirts in the late 1950s / Early 60s with a mix of textiles and quarrying industry.

//Exhibited by Andy Cooper//

</WRAP>

<WRAP round box>

==== Leatown ==== 

{{:railex26:Leatown cKevin Wood.jpg?nolink&400|}}

Leatown represents a truncated branch line in a rather rundown area of London and although it has a docklands backscene, it is actually inspired by areas such as the Silvertown tramway, Lea Bridge station and the West London branch around Greenford.

//Exhibited by Kevin Wood//

</WRAP>

<WRAP round box>

==== Roshven ====

{{:railex26:roshven_mixed_train_arrives_cjohn_noorani.jpg?nolink&400|}}

A West Highland line worked by RETB where you hear the radio conversations between the driver and the Signalman at Banavie and see the Token shown in the Driving Cab display. Some buildings are models of, or inspired by, originals in Mallaig. The model depicts trains from 1987 to 2003.

//Exhibited by John Noorani and Joe Marsella//

</WRAP>

<WRAP round box>

==== Rossiter Rise ====

{{:railex26:rossiter_rise_-_cterence_tew_1.jpg?nolink&400|}}

Rossiter Rise will be making its final exhibition appearance before retirement and a new private home. Depicting 1950’s Northwest London, LMR  DC Line Electrics, LMR push/pull, London Underground Sub-Surface, Tube and Engineering stock can all be seen...as well as the odd visiting interloper!

//Exhibited by Terry Tew//

</WRAP>

===== OO9 - 4mm Scale Narrow Gauge ======

<WRAP round box>

==== Devil's Bridge ====

{{:railex26:devils_brdge_candy_cundick_3.jpeg?nolink&400|}}

Devils Bridge was the terminus of the Vale of Rheidol Railway. A two foot gauge line running from Aberystwyth to Devils Bridge. Built in 1902 it was subsequently owned by the Cambrian in 1913, the Great Western in 1923 and then British Railways in 1948 becoming the last BR operational steam line until sold to the present owners in 1988. The model is built to 009 scale and is modelled to full scale size. The rolling stock being all kit built.

//Exhibited by Andy Cundick//

</WRAP>

<WRAP round box>

==== Penorwic Quarry ====

{{:railex26:penorwic_-_ccraig_owen_3.jpg?nolink&400|}}

‘Penorwic’ evokes the rich character of narrow gauge systems that once threaded the great slate quarries of Penrhyn, Dinorwic, and other dramatic North Wales locations - featuring ‘lower’ and ‘upper’ narrow gauge levels, an incline with working winding house, and standard gauge interchange sidings, all housed in a ‘picture frame’ case.

//Exhibited by Craig Owen//

</WRAP>

===== 2FS - 2mm finescale =====

<WRAP round box>

==== Bath Queen Square Engine Sheds ====

{{:railex26:bath_2_cjerry_clifford.jpg?nolink&400|}}

A chance to see Jerry's the excellent 2mm finescale engine shed area before being permanently placed as part of his home based Bath Queen Square (aka Bath Green Park). Since these pictures were taken the area has progressed significantly. Jerry is always willing to discuss any questions you have about 2mm FS or modelling generally.

//Exhibited by Jerry Clifford//

</WRAP>

==== Burnham-on-Sea ====

<WRAP round box>

{{:railex26:burnham-on-sea_cjohn_perrett.jpg?nolink&400|}}

The model was made (to 2mm finescale standards) and exhibited by the late Denys Brownlee. I'm tidying up above and making some correct rolling stock (a big job!). It is intended to depict the S&DJR scene in the 1920’s – 1930’s and rolling stock is being made to show this. Current stock is mainly kit built or adapted “N” gauge.

//Exhibited by John Perrett//

</WRAP>

===== N Scale - 2mm scale =====

<WRAP round box>

==== James Street ====
{{:railex26:james_street_crailway_modeller_1.jpeg?nolink&400|}}

James Street is an unusual exhibition layout, with no fiddle yards and all round viewing. N Gauge allows a lot of space for realistic length trains and six stations, so there is always something for exhibition visitors to see. 25 years in the making, it’s worth a watch!

//Exhibited by Steve Wright//
