The number of modules shown was 16 with one being shown for the first time.

The total length of track was 18.64 metres, a scale 1.4 kilometres or 0.9 miles.

 

Stock used :

 

We used British Railways pre-nationalisation stock.

 

Operators :

 

Three operators were needed to run the layout, one at each end with the third between Pottlewhistle and Piltdown. Colin, Geoff, Jonathan, Roger and Terry were there both days.

 

Notes :

 

With the debut of the Piltdown adaptor the former right hand terminus became a through station making it much more flexible.
