List of layouts attending;

Plymouth Friary Engine Shed - BR engine shed, Plymouth Friary is the Southern Railways engine shed in Plymouth. The Leeds MRS started construction of an O Gauge model in 2017
Belbroughton - BR branch line West Midlands, set in the late 1950’s, Belbroughton in North Worcestershire is village in an area bounded by Kidderminster, Bromsgrove, Longbridge and Stourbridge. In real life the village never had a railway but this is what could have been if the LMS and GWR had built a line into the town. The line in from Kidderminster fights the contours of the region causing it to enter the station via a rather circuitous route, whereas the line from the LMS at Longbridge takes a shorter route to Belbroughton coming off the Halesowen branch at Rubery.
