CWM BACH (O) - MARK WILSON
https://cwmbach.z33.web.core.windows.net
Cwm Bach (translation: little valley) is a fictional location, somewhere in the South Wales valleys, nominally a few miles from Pontypridd (but not to be confused with the real Cwmbach near Aberdare). In this 7mm scale/O gauge model, it's presented as a run-down late 1980s single track branch line, with a small platform and a DMU service. The line was once double-tracked and continued through a tunnel but that was closed many years ago and only remains today because it's a reversing point for freight (mostly civil engineering and wagon repairs). There's no space for a run-round loop, which necessitates some shunting and there's generally an 08 or two to be seen. As well as the regular DMU service, Cwm Bach also sees the occasional visitor on a test run from Cathays Works or Cardiff Canton depot. Watch out for a 37, a 33 or a 56 either "light engine" or with some interesting short trains as well as an occasional steam special.
GRANDAD'S TRAIN SET (HORNBY DUBLO THREE RAIL) - BRIAN WOODCOCK
A Hornby Dublo Railway. Most items date from the late 1940s to the close of Hornby Dublo a lot of them were mine from a child and made by Meccano , some locos are converted modern made locos , and some wagons are what we call " neverwazzes" , wagons never made by Hornby but what the operators build to what they would have liked made
Presented by Brian Woodcock a Hornby Railway Collectors Association member (9364)
BILLINGHAM STREET (O) - LES WILLIAMS
A fictitious stabling point in the North-East, serving locos which work in the local marshalling yards. The layout shows what can be achieved in a small space. You will see classes 03, 08, 20, 25, 45 and 55. The track is Peco, the buildings are scratch-built along with the fueling point. The locos are a mixture of Heljan and Bachmann brass. Wagons are a mixture of kits and ready-to-run. The over-bridge is a ready-made model from Skytrex.
KYLE OF TONGUE (OO) - BRIAN SILBY
Based in the north of Scotland, Kyle is the terminus of the proposed but never built Garve to Ullapool line.Motive power is provided by classes 20, 24 and 26 together with Cravens DMUs on passenger services.
VICTORIA (EM) - DAVE TAILBY
Sidings adjacent to Victoria Station in Central London dealing primarily with parcels traffic. You will see the station pilot loco shunting parcels stock in and out of the platforms, to add to other trains.
SORRENTO PARK (AMERICAN TT:120) - ROD SHAW
Sorrento Park is a North American industrial switching layout in TT:120 scale. It uses the recently introduced Peco TT scale track and turnouts. Stock and locos are mostly ready-to-run from European suppliers, while the buildings are scratch-built. All locos are DCC-fitted, one with sound. Sound for the others is produced by two under-baseboard decoder-equipped speakers
