BECKENHAM MODEL RAIL SHOW 2016 -- SATURDAY 22nd OCTOBER


Beckenham & West Wickham MRC
Sat 22nd October 2016

ADDRESS;  St John's Church, Eden Park Avenue, 
Beckenham, Kent BR3 3JN
OPENING TIMES:  10am - 5pm

ADMISSION:  Adults £6.00  Concessions £5.00 
Children £4.00  Family £12.00

The following list of exhibitors is correct at the time of going to press. The Beckenham and West Wickham Model Railway Club reserve the right to substitute or cancel any entries.

At least 12 Working Layouts:
Ballyconnell Road - 3mm
Banbury - N
Bassett Lowke - 0 
Beckwick - 00 
Bodgers End - 0n16.5 

Just to prove that 7mm scale railway modelling is possible in small spaces, Brian Cameron built Bodger’s End on a 4′ x 1′ board and that includes the fiddle yard, cunningly hidden behind the low-relief warehouse buildings.




Ebsworth Street - 00 
Gravesdown South - 00
High Gables - N
Knuddelstein Station - N

Liss Forest Depot - 00

Based on the Longmoor Military Railway in early 1965. It is an imaginary small depot located on a spur behind Liss Forest Road station. 




The story is that it was built around 1944 as an overflow for Palmers Ball sidings and is now used mainly to shunting training. That provides a ready excuse for spending all day moving wagons around without going anywhere.


Little River Falls - 0n30
Maxwell - N
Shell Haven - 00
Staple & Ash - 00
