Blott On The Landscape – Layout Construction.

Our layout, Blott on the Landscape, is finally wired and ready for scenery. 

Aidan and Richard did a great job of painting the various areas in the appropriate colours, ready for adding scatter, more buildings, people etc.

Blott is a purely fictional setting, so called because it will have a grimy scrap yard in the foreground, somewhat annoying the country folk who live in the rural surroundings.

Exhibitions Start Again

We are pleased to announce that we have been invited to be part of the Bognor Regis Model Railway Club Exhibition, taking place on the weekend of 15th and 16th January 2022. This is the first exhibition that many of us have been involved in for some time and comes as a welcome return to the wider world of model railways. The layout we will be exhibiting is one of our larger layouts called Forleigh. This is a layout that we inherited from the Fawley Power Station club some years ago, hence its name. You can see more details on our layouts page. Over the time we have had it, we have refurbished it and created a modern image layout with heritage railway branch.

The layout has been taken out of storage and reassembled for checking and cleaning. Like any layout that has been stored for some time, there are always things to repair and replace, but we will be ready and keen to run in time for the exhibition. We look forward to seeing you there. Why not come along, ask us about Forleigh, and maybe about our club too. New members are always welcome.

For more information the Bognor club’s website can be viewed here.
