An inspirational and marvellous 009 layout with a role reversal for the landscape in that it is largely above the rail tracks creating a very interesting point of view.
... except for the "final show" in Folkestone October 2023, when I was so pleased to be able to operate the layout once more and it looked and ran as well as ever :) It's gone full circle, to start and end with a Folkestone show appearance. Will we ever see it again in public? From what Dick was saying I very much doubt it now, simply due to ability (or not) to manage the loading and setting up etc.

I have wonderful memories of helping Dick run this layout in the 70s, 80s, 90s. Wish I'd known it was out for one last time :) Nick.

This layout has inspired many narrow gauge modellers over the years and is one of the best ever made.
Impressive amount of rolling stock, it looks amazing.
A truly marvellous and inspirational layout...
What a wonderful narrow gauge layout, being a TR member parts of it remind me of the Talyllyn.
Simply amazing!
Beautiful layout 🙂
Could watch this for hours...intricate and different from normal ovals...looks like many hours of work
Love it
Wow ❤
A lovely layout, although I'm sure the grass was greener in the Two Ronnies sketch?
