List of Layouts Attending:
Hope Hill - Burgess Hill MRC
Holly Bank - Newhaven MRC is a loco shed layout based in the York area, 1955-1963. Eastern and North Eastern locomotives prevail many of which are kit built. 4mm/00 gauge.

Staindrop (right) - A 7mm 0 gauge layout, LNER 1928, by Chris Robertson. Staindrop is a large village between Darlington and Barnard Castle, but never rail served. This ‘might have been’ branch is an attempt to model the old Central Division of the North Eastern Railway but in post grouping LNER days. This allows for the first changes that were taking place under the LNER other than just the livery of the locos and coaches.

Surrey Oval - Gauge 1 Surrey
Frimley North (left and top) - Matthew Lander. Frimley North is a fictional LB&SCR terminus station with a small goods yard. The layout was built around three years ago and is based in the preservation era. This layout has appeared at a few exhibitions and is a well built example of what you can do with a relatively small space.
