Grove Ferry Junction S Scale
Robin Fielding's unusual and well executed East Kent might have been, featuring a fiendishly clever fiddle-yard and a lovely Stirling O Class, amongst much else.

Fiddle yard and photos featured in MRJ 199

Maidstone Road EM Scale
Les Darbyshire has brought his magnificent evocation of the Kent and East Sussex under Colonel Stephens out of retirement for this special show, a seminal work in so many ways.

Featured in depth in MRJ 54 back in 1992 when the concept was already 30 years old - a layout not to be missed.

Rye Town EM Scale
An imaginatively built Colonel Stephens Terminus that never existed but looks as if it did, built by Stephen Hannington and appearing courtesy of Chris Jackson.

Fully featured in MRJ 146, Tim Shackleton (then editor) said of it: '..... Rye Town brilliantly captures the feel of a railway that, by the late 1920s, was down-at-heel, run on a shoestring and yet plainly loved by its employees.'

Smallcombe OO Scale
Ted Olney's perennially popular ex LNWR line in LMS days, a well operated and finished antidote to this scale's current preoccupation with “ready to run” items. Apoparently this layout has never appeared in a magazine - shome mishtake shurely?

Tucking Mill 2mm Scale
Take a walk up the Cam Valley with Jerry Clifford to discover a previously unknown light railway set alongside the old Somersetshire Coal Canal.

Weston Terminus EM Scale
Possibly the last outing for Andrew Ullyot's exquisite representation of the WC&P's southern terminus, a creaking light railway set in a refined suburb – it really existed!

Featured in MRJ 162, "Railway of the Month" in Railway Modeller February 2007
