The Challenge:
It was felt that our 40th annual model railway exhibition should be marked in some way.  Whilst not original, it was decided that a challenge would be thrown out to club members to build layouts with a 40 inch long scenic section. They could be fully operable (really only applicable to the smaller scales), a diorama or the half way house of a working diorama.

A small fiddle yard could be provided at one or both ends within a total maximum length of 60". The layout could possibly be extended to a full layout at a later date.
 
To encourage those of our members who do not normally have exhibition layouts, a small prize was awarded to that judged the most worthy.  One of our visiting  exhibitors and one of the traders agreed to be the judges.  However, to provide a more level playing field, the judges, by a means known only to themselves, would handicap those members who do have layouts on the exhibition circuit. 

The Challengers:
  • Ashfield
  • Ashwood End
  • Besses O' Th' Barn Bridge Diorama
  • Dhoby Ghaut
  • Flussufer
  • Forty Year Junction
  • Malpaso City
  • Milbourne Works
  • Molendorp
  • Moorswater
  • Vobster Quarry
  • West Somerset Railway Diorama

The Winner:
Malpaso City
