More amazing layouts at Telford:

Visited the amazing exhibition at Telford, UK in September 2018 with very high standards of O Gauge modelling in evidence. A huge number of very well stocked traders were there also. I have posted some shots of Arigna Road separately under its topic stream.

I had the pleasure of seeing Arigna Road in the flesh at the Telford Guildex Exhibition and of saying hello to David. Pictures hardly do the layout justice. This was probably the best exhibition I have ever attended with a very high standard of modelling and traders with huge stocks. A few of my shots:

Friends of Cultra are organising a Model Railway Exhibition among the fabulous railway exhibits there (see below for details). Wexford Model Railway Club plan to travel by bus to attend. Anyone else going along?

Erne Model Railway Club are hosting a Model Railway Exhibition at Cathedral Hall, Enniskillen, NI on Saturday 22nd September 2018. Wexford Model Railway Club will be represented there by "Cynwyd" in N:

The hall was spacious but I think they got over 400 visitors over the two days.

Little Siddington is booked to appear at the MRSI Exhibition in October 2018!

Thanks Noel. Yes, the O gauge is called "Little Siddington" based on the names of many similarly laid out stations on the GWR Bristol-South Wales line.

We had a great time representing Wexford Model Railway Club with Llanuwchllyn and enjoyed meeting Tony and many other people for a chat!

Yes it should open in Word from a download

Noel, I use plasticard and foam to damp the axles to give heft for the Kadees to operate...

Looking forward to meeting y'all at the show. Ulster MRC sent me the attached listing which I am sure they won't mind me sharing: Belfast Model Railway Show 2018exhibits descriptions.docx

Ulster Model Railway Club are hosting their Model Railway Exhibition on August 25th and 26th 2018 in the Methodist College. See their Facebook page for details.

Llanuwchllyn in N is booked to appear at the Belfast Model Railway Exhibition on August 25th and 26th!

George, 30th August 2018 is a Thursday - do you mean Sunday 26th August (as on the flyer)?

Welcome to visit us any time Fran

The main DCC bus-bar has been put neatly in place using dropper boards designed by Dave McCabe of Wexford MRC fame. Also in use are the standards deployed for the new O gauge layout ("Little Sidington") being developed by Wexford MRC including colour coding all wiring, labelling etc. The two-road fiddle-yard may also be used as a Programming track at the flick of a switch...

The track for Diesel Depot is now laid out with connecting electrical droppers soldered under the track ready for wiring. Note the single track through to the fiddle-yard with a point allowing two storage roads one of which will double as a DCC programming track by use of a double-pole/double-throw switch. End mirrors and additional scenery will be added along with details to fill out the scene over the next few months...

Lovely work George. You must give the train a spin on Wexford MRC's new O gauge layout "Little Siddington" some day! Gerry

A couple of shots showing the inspection pits and two Kadee magnets fitted to the board. Also shown is an outline of the track layout. Note the use of a double-slip as a space-saver enabling locomotives to trundle between 6 sections of track.

A couple of shots showing progress with baseboards including painting and backscene. Note the cut-outs for inspection pits for inside the engine shed and point control. Cut-outs also needed for Kadee magnets to be hidden below the ballast...

Outstanding scratch building work
