BERMUDA ROAD MOTIVE POWER DEPOT by Mike McManus
This new exhibition layout is currently under construction. I will be featuring most of the methods used to bring the layout to life beginning with planning the project and showing the various steps through the building stages detailing its construction etc. culminating in its first outing at the Merseyside Model Railway Society's Annual Exhibition. If any exhibition managers are interested in booking the layout for a future show please feel free to contact me.
I hope you can visit the website occasionally to see the progress. If you have any comments or suggestions I would be pleased to hear from you: e-mail: mike61680@hotmail.com
This website will be regularly updated as and when some progress has been made and I have something new to show, please visit us again.
For those who noted the impending house move - well it never happened!
I have now re-erected BERMUDA ROAD and have made a few changes since the last update over 12 months ago, I have added a few updated photo's in the UPDATE sectionWEBSITE LAST UPDATED 10th February 2011
THE REASON !
I have been railway modelling since childhood and have a permanent 'OO' gauge home based layout entitled "CHESTERGATE & MILNE" (C&M) this was featured in 'MODEL RAIL' August 2008; edition 121. I have included a few photographs of MILNE to give you the viewer something to look at whilst construction is ongoing.
I have always desired an exhibition layout and indeed MILNE started out as just such a venture, however it grew too big and unmanageable to consider for exhibition hence the above project. As newly appointed exhibition manager for MERSEYSIDE MODEL RAILWAY SOCIETY, I thought it was about time I provided myself with a layout which could attend various exhibitions around the country and meet all you like minded souls out there.
MERSEYSIDE MRS holds its annual exhibition at Pacific Road Arts Centre in Birkenhead, Please visit: www.merseysideMRS.co.uk for full information.
