We will be showcasing layouts of various scales and in different stages of construction. Jonny Wimbles will be taking over the Station Master's Office with a large DCC 00 gauge 'Vertigo Heights'. The layout was originally a demonstration at DCC concepts in Settle and works on multiple tiers with detailed winter scenics.
In contrast Tim Warner (having finished helping his nieces with their layout) has built a multi tier 009 layout which is yet to have scenics added. Tim will explain how it was done and trains will be running this weekend.
