The number of modules shown was 10 with five being shown for the first time.

The total length of track was 9.86 metres, a scale 0.7 kilometres or 0.5 miles.

 

Stock used :

 

British Railways stock was mainly used with small ex LMS and SR steam engines. A selection of GWR stock was also used at various times.

 

Operators :

 

One operator controlled the whole layout. Colin, Jonathan and Roger were assisted at times by various WBRM club members.

 

Notes :

 

This was the first continuous run layout and debuted the Redfield extension and Shortcliffe, the first 650mm straight modules.
