Chederall “OO” Tramway is Doug Pritchard’s compact montage of Cheshire and Derbyshire including representative structures of those two Counties, and some of the local traditions are also modelled. The “ALL” part of the title is the excuse to run trams of different types – double deck, single deck and demi-cars from various towns during UK tramway heydays! The outer loop is used for pantograph and the inner for trolley pole cars whilst the overhead supply is supported by traditional single, double bracket arms, span wires and wall rosette |

Memory Lane - David Carter’s Hornby Dublo 3 rail exhibit evokes fond memories of bygone times…. Well, it does for some of us...! There cannot be many railway enthusiasts who are not familiar with the products of the Meccano Factory at Binns Road in Liverpool and the mention of Hornby, Meccano and Dinky is sure to bring a happy smile to most blokes over forty five! |

Memory Lane is simply an excuse to wallow in nostalgia for a short while and watch the trains running on the kind of layout we would all have wanted when we were kids, if only we’d had the money! No fuss, no scenery, no complicated control system – just the sight and sound of Hornby Dublo trains doing what they do best. |
