Stand-outs for me were Dave Tailby's tiny "Victoria", "Navigation Sidings" and "Trewithick".<br />The latter would fit nicely on top of the bookcases here; in many ways it's rather old-fashioned...a "typical" GWR blt, straight front fascia and backscene and only around a foot wide. Layouts with "modern" curved presentation, big tall backscenes and proscenium arches are fine, but I wonder how many of them are set up at home, especially in a living room and semi-permanently?<br />Oh, and I seem to have re-joined the EM Gauge Society after 30 years, having bought a Branchlines railbus chassis for £15 off the club 2nd hand stand...and the Dapol body kit to go with it at the Erith MRS show yesterday.Simon Hargraveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05026455397775065689noreply@blogger.com
