Bangor 2025

[Dunluce Castle]

Hello everyone, 

I just want to say on behalf of my father and his Evenwood layout a huge thank you to those who supported the project. It has been quite the undertaking and we are extremely happy to be able to present it at the North Down show. 

The project was originally conceived ten years ago with the construction of station building and signal box, it was only last year that we realised that we needed to really push forward and complete the project, using the 200 year of the S&DR as motivation. The layout is roughly 95% complete, with just signals, footbridge and terrace housing requiring completion, which we hope to do so soon. 

We hope that everyone who observed the layout over the weekend enjoyed it, and we thank those who shared their memories of the surrounding area. The layouts next outing has not been confirmed, but a running video will be created and uploaded to YouTube.

I like the look of the tramline with four seasons on one layout. Brilliant modelling all round though. Thanks for posting.

Evenwood is a total joy. Not just a fine example of master model making, it has real presence and atmosphere and is a perfect demonstration of the principle that less can be more - no gimmicks, no clichés, just careful observation of a chosen landscape and subtle modelling of it. A brilliant achievement. Many thanks for the opportunity to see it close up.
