For best results/quality, watch in HD. This video was filmed by www.railwayscenics.com. The Bournemouth Model Railway Exhibition was held by the East Dorset Area Group of the N Gauge Society at The Hamworthy Club in Wimborne, Dorset on the 10th and 11th February 2024. A great show filled with over 20 layouts as well as 10 traders.
The layouts featured in the videos are as follows:
1) Hillside Park (2mm/N) - An oval twin track layout featuring Diesel TMD and Steam Shed. Set in the mid 1960's for end of steam and start of diesel era.
2) Barton St David (4mm/OO) - A DCC operated 1920-40's GWR and S&DJR branch terminus, recently extended to incorperate a loco shed and small carriage stabling facilities. Depicts the real life village of Barton St David in Somerset.
3) Framplington (4mm/OO) - Is based on the long-gone terminus at Framlingham in Suffolk which was at the end of the short branch from Wickham Market on the East Suffolk line. The line closed to passengers in the 1950s.
4) Postlethwaite and Sons (009) - A 15 inch narrow gauge line serving the company's works. The sclae is 7mm/ft and uses Peco 009/N gauge track. It is a fictional medium/heavy engineers company set in the north west of England.
5) Sarah's Falls (2mm/N) - The layout is 8ft long and has been restored by members of the East Dorset N Gauge Society after it was gifted to them by a local family due to the passing of its creator.
6) Farbine Road (4mm/OO) - A fictional wagon repair depot loosly based in the West Midlands. Features the BR Blue era of the mid 1970 to mid 80s. Passenger and parcel trains can be seen along with engineering trains in the rear.

8) Launceston Steam (009) - At Launceston there are three Quarry Hunslet Locos (Lilian, Covertcoat and Dorothea) and until recently Velinheli who is now based at the Festiniog Railway. The four model steam locos have been built by adapting kits.

10) Witham (4mm/OO) - Set in the summer season during the late 1950s/early 1960s during the twighlight years of steam motive power and the dawn of early diesel locos.

12) Rolstone (2mm/N) - Voted 'Best in Show' by the public. A DCC controlled N gauge twin track main line with a four platform main station and small halt plus steam shed, diesel depot and three track station.

Nice video Gaby. Well filmed and megga brownie points for not getting members of the public hogging the limelight! Some really interesting layouts giving me a lot of ideas for our club layouts. We're a new club on the Black Isle in the Scottish Highlands and are modelling in "N", "OO" & "O" and hope to exhibit our "N" layout later this year. The items I've ordered from you have proved themselves invaluable when constructing and wiring the layouts. Looking forward to your next video. (and others you show each week). Regards, Bob
