Phoenix MRC were pleased to
support the Eastcombe Scouts and Guides.
All revenue is going to improve thier clubrooms.
We helped raise over £1100 to go forward
with the modifications they need to bring
the building up to EEC regulations.
We had four Phoenix
layouts at the show, and Mr Alan Postlethwaite
author of several railway books brought Brockley Acres, a large layout
which is designed for people to have a go
at running a layout.
The phoenix layouts include...
Corrinford
Road, Phoenix's 'OO' club layout,
originally built by Ken Ross a local modeller
and revamped this year to run with Digital
Control. Corrrinford Road runs with GWR
stock supplied and run by Dennis Bladen.
Zeitz,
Owned by John Freer. An 'N' gauge continental
layout. Using standard DC cab control, depicting
the German reichsbahn through epoc 1&2
before the network became DB.
Island of Sodor,
Owned by Sarah Padam. A 'OO' gauge layout
currently runing on DC control, but
soon to be converted to digital control.
As you may be aware the original Island of Sodor, as depicted by the Rev.
Awdry is a fictional island situation between the Isle of Mann and mainland
Britain. As such it was considered to be part of the Great Western Region and
was based in the period just prior and just after centralisation. This layout
is set in the same era and region.
Bardney
Flights, Owned by Giles Walburn. A LNER
'OO' finescale layout controlled by Digital
control, incorporating laptop control. Bardney
Flights is under construction giving and
insight to people who are considering
building a layout. Bardney Flights will
also have a working flight of canal locks,
although this feature is not finished yet.
