Alan’s 12mm scale scratch built armoured Simplex. He was also working of the frames for two more of these models.
Richard recently bought this part-built diorama/module off Ebay, originally intended for 00 gauge track. It features a Norfolk Wherry and a small motor boat at the wharf between warehouses with a hand painted back scene. He is hoping to add 009 track and a small fiddle yard to operate it as a narrow gauge scenic module. John’s excellent 16mm scale home-designed and home 3D printed diesel (with micro processor sound), cattle van and guards van.
Graham brought along his approx. 95% completed O9 layout “Pye Rigg Works”, a small railway maintenance shed on the moors. Steam tram “Leviathan” is passing the shed sidings with a passenger train, and diesel loco “Oread” is at the end of the head shunt. A few of Nigel’s O-16.5 scale locomotives, both modified r-t-r and scratch built, on commercial chassis.This is Chris’s scale plan for his O9 layout. Much of the stock and motive power has been built, and he is planning to have a tippler (mock-up seen on the right) tipping stone into a lower main line (2ft 3″) siding which runs along the front. Also, a turntable is now planned for turning the tractor loco’s. Ray was working on this model of Woody Bay Station in 1:76 scale. It is a nicely modified kit by RailReality, he has improved the stone walls and added new doors and interior fittings.
A couple of Jim’s recent 009 locos running on his “Hubbards Halt” layout. An nice Ebay 3D print by Tinweb, and a French WW1 Pechot Bourdon loco. He has added plug-in cassettes to the right-hand end of the layout to move extra stock around.
Stuart was building 16mm wagons, both by Slaters. On the left is a 16W07 War Dept. A class wagon, and the bogies are 16B01 D Class Bogie kits.
David was working on his scale 009/HO9 plan, which shows 16 electrical sections controlled by micro-processor units along with a shuttle along the front. He has this 3D printed railcar based on a Class 150 DMU for the shuttle. The Works Car, shown on Daves 009 “New Walmington Pier” layout.
