HW Yard

An O gauge layout by Dave Harris & John Witts

First exhibition, 27-Apr-2002 Bushey

S.W. Herts MRS exhibition, Queens School, Bushey, Watford, Herts.
16 layouts in gauges Z-O, 10 traders, refreshments.

We had a very nice day out showing HW Yard in its basic scenic state (The exhibition manager was aware of this when he booked us). The B4 and stock shunting on the low level worked well using the Dingham auto-couplings, after a small amount of adjustments just prior to opening time. The arches and bridge are in place and have basic detail colouring, 90% of ground texture is in place, the buildings at the left hand side are shells awaiting detailing and the partial building to the right is not yet started.

Also at this time the fiddle yards are incomplete so the DMU and Standard class 5 up on the high level lines are on static display. picture3 plus link to zoom in on Standard class 5 loco

Many thanks to Andrew Evans for inviting us to the SW Herts MRS show.
