The highlight for me was seeing PD Hancock’s layout . I had seen some of it in January at the Glasgow Show but this being a special 75th anniversary show of the club, more was there to be enjoyed.
In m any ways PDHancock is the model railway of Charles Grant , Donald Featherstone and perhaps HG Wells rolled into one. Enjoy the pictures then read more at the links below-
The founding charter of the railway.Brilliant scratch building. Card l imagine.
Notice the use of some Airfix fortifications in the background.
The equestrian statue from the Sherif of Nottingham Airfix set.

Thanks anyway.
DeleteNow those 'blogger hiccups' seems to be happening here as well. Your previous post is the one that shows up as your last on on my blogger link list. If you go to 'Feedburner' you can manually update your blogger feed.
ReplyDeleteVery nice layout. I really like the incorporated Airfix details.
Tradgardmastare,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing these images of PD Hancock’s buildings and what remains of his layout. His use of bits and pieces from Airfix kits and figure sets shows imagination … and it’s interesting that they are now available again!
All the best,
Bob
Interesting to see these fragments and holy model railroad relics - still inspiring after many years!
