This year's show raised just over £500.00 for the Railway Children charity, so thank you very much to all exhibitors and visitors for contributing to what was a super event. We enjoyed a number of top quality layouts and exhibits including several featuring models of Colonel Holman Fred Stephens' railways. Andrew Ullyott with his EM rendition of Weston's Ashcombe Road terminus, Robin Fielding with "Grove Ferry Junction" in S scale, the Colonel Stephens Society stand, Kerry Baylis with his modelling demonstration, Les Darbyshire's wonderful "Maidstone Road" came out of retirement and Stephen Hannington's exquisite "Rye Town" also appeared courtesy of its present custodian Chris Jackson. In addition, Jerry Clifford brought his brand new "Colonel Stevens meets William Smith" essay in 2mm finescale "Fullers Mill" and Ted Olney and team returned with the evergreen "Smallcombe". We also enjoyed the "Brink Valley Tramway" from Christopher Payne and Dick Dorton's "Ardleigh Noel" featuring some superb 16mm stock built by none other than Peter Barnfield. I am currently working on the 2012 line up and will update these pages as arrangements are made. |
