Most of the members of the club have their own layouts and models. Indeed
the club does not own any rolling stock, so the club layout is designed to be
a generic British location. So the work of the members is highlighed here:
Dean Turta
One of the group's non-Brits,
he has started an Norfolk layout prompted by the surprise gift of a
British locomotive and rolling stock from Cyprus. Who would have thought!
Sentinel
Just completed: a 100hp Sentinel super-heated, vertical-boilered, gear-driven
shunter from an Allan Howell (Cyprus) kit, and the manure wagon brass kit from
Blacksmith Models (UK).
Chris Jessop
His interests lie mostly in the Midland Region,
specificially Wellingborough, which inspires his ongoing layout project which
will be based on the late 1930's. He is, at the moment, side-tracked into
building control systems and electronics, when he has leasure-time left
over from ballroom dancing.

Martin Dawe
He models the Southern Railway post war 1946 until the end of stem in 1967. He has a special interest in the Bulleid Pacific locomotives in their various guises, and has a
large model fleet of them to prove it! He builds locomotives from brass and white metal kits, as well as coaches and wagons, and has scratch built or heavily modified locos and coaches as well.
His basement is also home to the club layout, 'Much Muddling' and he hosts regular 'Muddling' work sessions on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and weekends during the winter work period when required.
New members and those interested in helping out are always welcome. Contact details are on the home page.

Peter Johnson
Peter's current masterpiece is Leyburn. It was featured in
the February and March 2008 issues of British Railway Modelling magazine.
Leyburn depicts the Wensleydale station in a hard winter setting in
January 1954 (the last winter before cessation of
passenger traffic) or January 1963 when the branch was reopened in order to
serve villages that were cut off by road.
