COLEFORD 009 SHUNTING LAYOUT

List of Layouts Attending:
Coleford - OO9 [Above] a narrow gauge shunting layout, is based on a real railway in the Forest of Dean, with history having been warped a little to suit a “narrow” (gauge) mind.
Woolthorpe Light Railway - OO9 
Chwarel Tegid - OO9 
Nibley Knoll - OO9 
Bottle Kiln Lane - OO9 - [Left]. 
A layout based on a fictitious location somewhere in England, by John Thorne
Set in the 1930s this small narrow gauge line runs through the English countryside and serves a small canal and pottery. The pottery is based on the buildings of the Coalport factory in Ironbridge. The layout is of no particular prototype but provides the opportunity to showcase a wide variety of 2ft gauge narrow gauge stock.

Grange West Tramway [Right] - O.16.5 by John Dean.
A middle England tramway station (GWR) in 7mm/ft scale 16.5mm gauge (0-16.5) and this layout featured in the June 2018 edition of the Railway Modeller appears to be a regular on the exhibition circuit. 

Llanfair Jamieinion - OO9
Little Ease - 1.16
Ruritania Eisenbahn - O.16.5
Wendsleydale - O.16.5 

Thurtey - OO9 [Below] -- A dock side narrow gauge layout, appears to be in the shape of the number 30 hence the name, but still nice little run around and plenty of different looking stock on show.
