Continuing showcasing some of the many layouts that can be seen at Scaleforum 2025.
Flintcombe by the East Dorset Gang of Four
The layout represents the end of a fictional spur running to the south west from the Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway (S&DJR) at Sturminster Newton.
Hepton Wharf by South Hants Model Railway Club
Hepton Wharf is an L&YR branch built by a team of modellers led by Iain Rice including Don Leeper, mostly over the weekend of Scaleforum 1993. It was in response to a challenge to build a working P4 layout in very short order and demonstrate that the move to P4 need not be a demanding one. The challenge was met and the first train ran after fourteen hours.
Hepton Wharf can be considered one of the first “Cameo” layouts to be built and features in Iain’s Cameo Layouts book.
High House Colliery by Roger France
High House Colliery is a model of a fictious Cumberland coal mine as operated by the National Coal Board in the late 1960s.
Rolvendon by Robin Gay
Rolvenden is a Colonel Stephens light railway, it is modelled in P4 and it represents the station of that name on the Kent and East Sussex Railway in the
mid 1920s.
Ruyton Road by Paul Bannerman
The Shropshire and Montgomeryshire Railway ran from Shrewsbury Abbey station to Llanymynech which sits on the border of Shropshire and Montgomeryshire (now Powys) with a branch from Kinnerley Junction to Criggion. It was one of a number of branch lines across the Country that were engineered and managed by Colonel Holman Stephens. Ruyton Road is the imaginary terminus of a second branch line from Kinnerley Junction
and as with many stations is some distance from the town it professed to serve. It is also the junction for a short line to a nearby quarry. The time period is 1920s.
