This year there are a plethora of layouts across all major scales will be on show which cover most area of railway modelling. The show is held in the Darlington Railway Museum which is housed in the original Darlington Station.

List of Layouts Attending:
Woodside [OO Gauge BR].
Sets out to capture the distinctive ‘sense of place’ that defined the Forest of Dean in the 1950s and 1960s. Also captures the seasonal atmosphere where some of the materials and colours used to represent autumnal vegetation rarely feature on layouts. 'Woodside' is a split-level layout combining visual interest with operating potential, the passenger services operate on the higher level; freight below.
Thorncliffe OO Gauge. Based in north Sheffield, a variable period between 1988 and 1992.

Neuburg 1913 (Electric Traction) Swiss HO. (pictured left) This is a Swiss metre gauge layout of the Rhätische Bahn, Neuburg station in 1913, a section of the line prior to electrification. Layout features a passing station with engine facilities in a scenic setting. The layout is featured in the Peco Modellers Library, modelling Swiss Railways and Continental Modeller November 2020.

St George's Quay O Gauge LNER, by Alan Gray of Gateshead. LNER 1930s (pictured right).
Byway MPD OO Gauge BR urban loco shed. 4' 6" x 1' - A fictional small BR urban motive power depot set in the late steam era. The layout is used at shows to demonstrate sound equipped locos.

Chester's Yard EM Gauge Period Late 1970's, by Robin Coulthard. Chesters Yard is a completely fictitious location loosely based around the late 1970s Blue Diesel era and is a first attempt at finescale modelling in ‘EM’ by the owner. Motive power is supplied by a mixture of Class 24, 25, 26, 35 and 128 DPU from Bachmann and Heljan and all but two at present are sound fitted.

Kyle of Mac Callen EM Locomotive Shed BR by Adrian Walby. Circa September 1966, at the locomotive shed at Kyle of Macallan, somewhere in the north-west Highlands of Scotland (pictured right). Steam has long gone from the area, last seen here in June 1962 and, where the steam locomotives were once serviced, diesels now rest between duties, though not for much longer as the writing is on the wall for this somewhat derelict shed. The layout is based on, but not an exact copy of, the shed at Kyle-of-Localsh and coincidentally, the shed lost its roof in a fire shortly after the end of steam, remarkably similar to events at Kyle-of-Localsh.
