The 33rd model railway exhibition by the Mid Essex Model Railway Club on the 18th Sept 2010 at Shenfield High School.
Exhibiter 22 is "Niederfell" by Ann & Brian Silby in N gauge.
"The German rail network always held a fascination for us, moreover since visiting various locations up & down the country - the area South of Koblenz is our favourite.
Niederfell is a location on the right bank of the River Mosel with an imaginary electrified line crossing over the river to the village of Lehmen.
Traffic is mostly freight interspersed by regional express passenger trains which are in the hand of DB Class 218 diesels & a local DMU which terminates at Cochem.
Freight traffic is in the hands of the ubiquitous GM Class 66."
Exhibiter 24 is "Hutchinson Sidings" by Ian Allington in HO gauge.
"This American HO gauge model portrays a small fictitious rail yard, located in Bay City, California & featured in the 1970's TV cop show "Starsky & Hutch.
The yard was owned & operated by the most famous of USA railroad companies - the Santa Fe & the era modelled is 1976 to 1995.
The mainstays of power observed are short Santa Fe freights, light engine moves & an occasional Amtrak test train.
Watch out for Starsky & Hutch's famous red & white Gran Torino, parked in the area whilst they chase baddies!
A truly micro layout - only 41/2 feet long by 1 foot deep (the scene section is only 2 feet long!)
It is a real small space filler!
It's ideal for the space starved modeller.
All the buildings are modified kits, the trees are ready made & the backdrop is an enlarged photograph to provide depth.
This layout proves that you can still have great fun building a model in such a small area."
Exhibiter 26 is "Parkhouse" by Steve Farmer in N gauge.
"Parkhouse is situated in North Staffordshire in the period 1977-1979.
Passenger services are run mainly by Diesel Multiple Units.
Freight traffic which includes cement, perishables, general commodities, steel & bricks is tripped to the sidings alongside the station area.
Under the road bridge (off scene) coal is delivered to a coal concentration depot (CCD).
Most of the rolling stock has been built from kits to represent trains of that period.
The locomotives are from the Farish range.
The layout shows that you do not need a vast amount of space for a layout especially in N gauge, & I hope its given you thoughts of "I could build something like this"."
Exhibiter 27 is "Trevanna Dries" by Dave Tailby in EM gauge.
"A small china clay works on the line from Par to Newquay, obviously the main traffic being china clay.
Traffic is sent from Fowey Docks in clay hood wagons, with a small amount of bagged clay sent out in vans.
Being one of the old coal-fired pan dries, Trevanna also receives coal traffic."
Exhibiter 28 is "Grove Park" by Enfield Town MRC in EM gauge.
"Originally built, & displayed, by the Weston Railway Modellers it has since been refurbished, on account of its age.
Set in the early 1950's it comprises both through BR suburban & Underground stations, set against services recovering from a lack of maintenance during the war years.
In addition to the BR service trains you will find some goods traffic for the factory sidings, with LT also running engineering trains.
Between peak times passenger stock can be found stabled just beyond the station limits."
