RMweb Premium Flying Pig Posted August 7, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 7, 2019 (edited) Edit: Anglian solved my puzzle with this post. Does anyone have photos of Bishops Wearburn as I can't find any online. I'm trying to recall the name of an N gauge layout that was on the exhibition circuit ten years or more ago. It was at Warley at least once - I believe that may have been in 2010 when all the 2mm layouts were there for the Association 50th anniversary, but I'm fairly sure this one was N. The layout in question was a former NER main or secondary line set in the North East in the usual BR transition period, a fictitious location I believe. It featured a short viaduct over a river or canal in a steep valley at the right hand end with a stone mill next to the water - in fact the name may have been "something Mill" (but possibly not!). I can't remember the rest of the layout even though I distinctly recall liking it very much (age). I can't find hide nor hair of it online so I may be confused and deluded, but does anyone have similar and perhaps more complete delusions?

peterl Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Simon Just had a look at the 2010 and 2009 Warley Show Guides and nothing I can fine matches your description. So not much help really. Peter 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope. I nearly put "definitely not Fencehouses or Wansbeck Road" in the OP. Wish I had now! Both excellent latouts but not what I was thinking of (and both 2mm FS not N).

RMweb Premium carlwooduk Posted August 9, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 9, 2019 Maybe Scarworth Junction - North of England Lines? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anglian Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Fairly sure I know the layout you are referring to, the name escapes me, will trawl through some magazines as I know I have the article on it somewhere. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure it's not as that's a layout I've seen quite often and is rather bigger than the one I'm thinking of. 1 hour ago, Anglian said: Fairly sure I know the layout you are referring to, the name escapes me, will trawl through some magazines as I know I have the article on it somewhere. Thanks - sounds promising. The reason I'm trying to find this layout is that if I'm remembering it right it seems to be close to what the OP of New N Gauge Layout in the Layout Planning section is after.

RMweb Premium Flying Pig Posted August 11, 2019 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted August 11, 2019 Good plan. As requested in my edited OP, does anyone have photos of Bishops Wearburn? It's mentioned in various showguides online and even in exhibition threads on RMweb but there don't seem to be any pictures. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

drmditch Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 I remember this. It was very impressive, and just the sort of thing I am currently trying to build (in 4mm/OO). I hope there are more pictures of it somewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahame Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Here's a few pics of Bishops Wearburn (modelled by John Spence IIRC). They are not on-line ones but some that I took many years ago (hence not good quality); G 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
