Astolat Model Railway Circle – 52nd Exhibition – 12th January 2020

Some layouts from today’s Astolat exhibition.

“Whitedown” Motive Power Depot - OO Gauge
The layout is fictional in North East Hampshire BR Southern Region. The layout was built in the early 1990’s by one of our club members. The layout is not operated to any set sequence but is run to show the variety of steam/diesel locomotives that have run on the various companies from approximately 1930 to present day

Cheffley is a busy town that may have served by the Southern Railway in August 1939. The station buildings are still painted in the colours of the LSWR due to funding issues. The town is a branch line terminus for fast passenger services from Waterloo operated by the new electrified trains. The folly is a scratch-build based on article that appeared in Model Rail Magazine

Aldermouth - O Gauge This is a total fictitious layout portraying a Great Western Railway branch line terminus during the period 1930-1940. Running rights have been granted to the Southern Railway and a variety of both GWR and SR locomotives together with passenger and goods stock are in evidence.

Kinlocklaggen - N Gauge
The layout is based on a rural station somewhere in Scotland. The station has a passing loop and limited freight facilities. Trains frequently pass here and the layout can be operated in the steam/green diesel era, the BR Blue era, and Scotrail era.

Ashbury Wharf – OO9 – Astolat MRC
This is our oldest club layout and has recently been restored to operation with a complete rewiring and some track work repairs. It depicts a busy port serviced by a narrow gauge freight railway

Murrell Park - N Gauge
LMS era 50’s-60’s. It was given to the club (Pevensey Bay MRC) by Mr Murrell’s family after he passed away. It was rebuilt but has retained some original features.

We hope you enjoy
