I think that applied to the first iteration of the light railway layout 'Ruyton Road'.

Rob R Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Chaps, Looking at the above photos of last years event, there seems to be a shortage of LOUD shirts.

RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted March 3, 2023 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 3, 2023 (edited) With Richard joining us, a revised batting order emerges from the pavillion. Layouts Yelverton - Alex { Wiggoforgold} brings us his delightful rendition of Yelverton, as running in the summer of 1958. His scratchbuilt buildings, faithful to prototype are a joy to behold in their own right. { 4mm 00 gauge } Bethesda Sidings-Tim { Captain Kernow } Tim has created a beautiful Cameoesque tribute to the byways and backwaters of Welsh border country. { 4mm 00F/S } Trowland- Rob { Rob R } Rob now has custody of Trevor Nunn's East Anglian masterpiece. Constructed in S scale, one could almost say that this is a pre-pre-grouping layout. A small corner of the North Norfolk coast from 19th Century....... { 1/64 scale } William Smiths Wharf-Jerry { Queensquare } Champion of all things 2mm F/S, Jerry brings Williams Smith's Wharf to SWAG and will be demonstrating just how practical a proposition modelling in 2mm finescale really is. { 2mm F/S } The Hollow. Stu. { Stubby 47 } Stu's latest 009 adventure. A small narrow gauge roundy roundy showcasing Stu's undoubted abilities as a builder of fine buildings. Have a good look and take the opportunity to chat to Stu about any bespoke or adapted kit built buildings he could provide you with for your own projects. ....................{4mm 009 } St. Martin-sur-Or- { 10800 } Rod produces his French odyssey based on a disused ex-Midi secondary line in South West France. Features overhead Catenary, mechanical signals and more than a few croissant crumbs. { 3.5 mm HO } Shwt-John. { Johndc120 } A study in end of line dereliction beautifully presented in EM gauge. Expect real flavour of a 1960s line just clinging on...... { 4mm EM Gauge } Fryers Lane -Mark. { Mark Forrest } Arising from the ashes of the Scalefour Society's Standard Gauge Workbench initiative and now much expanded, this layout will showcase Sectorised British Rail in the relatively recent past. Positively Modern Image ! { 4mm 00/P4 or something inbetween gauge } Llandafal- George Haylock has popped up at a couple of shows in South Wales this year and has kindly accepted an invite to bring his take on a GWR BLT, Cameostyle. If you thought you didn't have room for a BLT, think again. It's George's first layout by the way..........{ 4mm 00 gauge } Demos. Some nice types have "volunteered " to share their methods and will be awaiting your questions on the day............. Chris { Gilbert } will be showing us a few bits and bobs. A bit of weathering and some alternative methods of coupling will be to the fore. Lurking in the background will be his East Anglian Cameo layout, Lockdown Drove as an added bonus. Jamie { Southern Region Steam } will be along offering advice on photography. In addition, if you have a particular favourite loco, building or item of rolling stock, Jamie will be happy to photograph them on the day. Martyn { Mullie } will be have the latest addition to his East Anglian odyssey, Upbech Quay on hand and will also be available to discuss how he achieves the beautifully subdued colours on his layouts. Bring and Buy Closer to the day we will be inviting anyone who has surplus items to put them into the established Bring and Buy Bazaar. A proportion of the proceeds from each sale will go to the Charity of choice. Please start looking on those shelves and in those cabinets for anything you'd like to move on. Catering Of course SWAG wouldn't be SWAG without the promise of Pasties and Cakes and rest assured these will be readily available on the day courtesy of the highly skilled crack catering department. As ever, all proceeds raised will go to our charity of choice. Trader support. There may be more but please give some thought to anything you might want to be able to pick up from the traders on the day. Contact them prior to and arrange to collect on the day.

RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted March 3, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 3, 2023 Update to the above. Newham will probably be replaced by The Hollow, a fictitious narrow gauge line running through a small, hillside village. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted March 3, 2023 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 3, 2023 (edited) Evening all, This weekend's layout is Llandafal by George Haylock. Llandafal is George's first layout and it cropped up last year at a few exhibitions in South Wales. George is an accomplished model maker and offers a professional weathering service as well as building quite lovely military models. The overall finish on the layout is excellent, demonstrating how there is much to learn from the military modelling folk. His figures are exquisite and have been featured by Modelu. If there was any doubt in your mind that you couldn't accomodate a BLT then think again. Well worth a look.
