The number of modules shown was 49 with 11 being shown for the first time.

The total length of track was 55.33 metres, a scale 4.2 kilometres or 2.6 miles.

Stock used :

Saturday we used LMS stock in the morning with LNER stock in the afternoon.

Sunday we used Southern stock in the morning and GWR in the afternoon.

Operators :

Five operators were needed to run the layout, one from the Traverser to Three Elms, the second to Little Burstead, the third to Petworth, the fourth to Pottlewhistle and the fifth to Stane Street. Colin, Geoff, Jonathan, Roger, Steve and Terry were there both days with Angus on the Sunday.

Notes :

The longest AVR to date and an organisational nightmare. Two new double modules were there, the Brewery from Jonathan and the incomplete Little Burstead from Steve, his first modules. Roger’s Lynwick Siding short 650mm module was new as was Geoff’s double track goods yard and the engine shed triangular junction Artington. Colin produced Redfield C and the Marlpit Junction modules. Of the available modules only one scenic module and three non scenic ones were not used.
