Ipswich Model Railway Exhibition 2019 Layouts


Grafton Maltings

Picture
A ‘0’-16.5 narrow gauge layout of an East Anglian maltings set in the 1950’s era. A mixture of narrow and standard gauge lines with barges arriving with coal and barley for the maltings.

Engaine-cum-Hardy

Picture
An N gauge layout with fully functional yard with Goods, Coal & Brewery sidings. After a journey around the layout, the trucks are then shunted back into their respective sidings. Click the pic to see a video of the layout in action.
​

Brent Eleigh
Picture
A narrow gauge line that might have been. Set in the early 1950s with a mix of steam and diesel motive power. Whilst road competition is yet to bite you can already see signs of cost cutting on the railway.

Stoke By Nayland
Picture
A fictional P4 gauge 35 mile cross country route from Colchester to Stowmarket serving mainly agricultural community and villages. It survived until Dr. Beeching wielded the axe in 1967.

Tigley Yard
Picture
An O gauge layout set in the village of Tigley (between Totnes and Plymouth) close to the foothills of Dartmoor. The yard survived the Beeching cuts in the 1960’s and is still in existence in the early 1970’s, before the TOPS numbering system came into use.

Lydgate

Picture
A fictional branch line terminus in 4mm scale ‘00’ gauge 16.5mm, based on the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway in the 1960’s B.R. Steam and Diesel ​.

Felixstowe Modules

Picture
N Gauge layout built to a modular format. Individual members build their own modules, which can be combined to form a larger layout. Modules may be in any style hence we have mixtures of countryside, urban, Station or industrial.
​


NONSUCH
Picture
If the Tudors had developed the railways this is how it may have looked. NONSUCH is in fact a real place in Surrey where Henry VIII built a palace in 1538. Rolling stock, building (and mice!) are scratch built.

Haddon Bank
Picture
A showpiece OO gauge layout from the Chelmsford and District MRC. Set in the late forties to early fifties, possibly central to eastern England. You'll find a large loco depot taking centre stage. 

TT and LGBR
Picture
The Table Top and Large Giant Beasts Railway is a fabulous combination of Triang TT and G scale trains. This will be a firm favourite for children and there's the chance to win some sweets and raise funds for St. Elizabeth Hospice.

Ledsom Street Yard

Picture
A fictional “O” Gauge micro shunting layout based in an Industrial setting somewhere in the United Kingdom. The Layout featured in the January 2014 issue of  Railway Modeller.

Ipswich South Bank
Picture
Originally starting life as an IRMA junior members project Ipswich South Bank has grown and developed into one of our N gauge exhibition layouts. A Network Rail and Malt Brewery yard sit close to the fictional South Bank terminus.
​
​

Grafton Viaduct
Picture
A OO gauge layout set in the modern era. It's a hands on layout for the younger visitors at exhibitions and can be operated by a single operator with motorised point control and section breaks.

Dawes Lane
Picture
Set in middle England this present day N gauge layout features a wealth of detail. Watch as the multiple units shuttle down the branch alongside longer freights thundering by on the mainline.
