Allan Parkers magnificent ’0′ gauge layout ‘Tummell VIII’ which is loosely based on Banff in the north east of Scotland and set in 1959 can be seen at this year’s show. All the locomotives and rolling stock are either kit or scratch built to a superb standard. The buildings are all scratch built by Allan and the results speak for themselves.

Malcolm Hughes returns once more to the Mansfield Show with another offering from his “Bygone Model Railways” stable. This year he is bringing a 5 foot by 4 foot Hornby O Gauge Clockwork layout featuring a station, turntable, passing loop with tunnel and a crane

EM Gauge china clay workings

 St Minions is an exercise in small scale modelling. Based around china clay workings, it shows that finescale modelling can be achieved in a small area. Built to EM gauge, the track work is a mixture of copperclad and C & L. The buildings are mostly modified or scratch built. The layout is wired to DCC operation. The eventual aim is to portray workings over several periods, although the 1970’s/80’s is what is run at present. Passenger services are in the hands of a single railcar, with class 25’s handling the freight. Please feel free to ask any questions.

00 Modern image DCC layout depicting a small loco maintenance depot

Deeping Lane Depot is a DCC controlled layout
Depicting a fictitious Depot scene from around 1994 onwards

All of the buildings are scratch built by myself
Using plasticard, foamboard and evergreen strips.
The scenery is constructed of various brands of scatter materials and tree packages.

All locos are weathered and detailed to a good standard and run via dynamis DCC system using a variety of decoders.
Points are controlled by seep and peco point motors and switched via a peco switch lever system.
