Scalefour North 2017

Scalefour Northprovides a unique opportunity for like-minded model railway enthusiasts to meet, talk, exchange ideas or information, and generatenew friendships or revive old ones. To encourage dialogue between visitors and exhibitors, we don’t place barriers in front of thelayouts, so please feel free to ask advice from the exhibitors: this is what the show is all about. Over the years, many new andinnovative ideas which have advanced the art of finescale modelling have emanated from the members of the Scalefour Society.We believe that Scalefour North provides the ideal showcase to present these new developments, and we hope that all visitors willbe inspired by what they see over the weekend. We have also enjoyed tremendous support from the specialist model railway tradeover the years and are grateful to all those traders who come back year after year.

And Everyone is WelcomeWhile the exhibition is organized primarily for Scalefour Society members, we always warmly welcome the many non-members whovisit the show each year, whatever their scale or interest. Do chat to us about what we do. If you are sufficiently impressed orintrigued by the Scalefour standards, then you can join the Scalefour Society here and now – in which case your admission fee isreduced. The membership desk is near the entrance and our Membership Secretary, Steve Carter, will explain all.

No Mistaken IdentitiesSome of us have problems remembering our own names, let alone those of others. If you would like to remind other visitors ofyour identity then name badges can be created at the Scalefour Society stand. For that professional touch, email your details [email protected] at least one week before the show and your badge will be available for collection at the show.

The Best Layout in the ShowThe Clive Walton-Evans Trophy is awarded each year to the most popular layout in the show as judged by our visitors. Pleasecomplete your voting slip and place it in the ballot box before leaving. The award will take place on Sunday afternoon at 15.00.

Moreover . . .In addition to the layouts, we have:

● A range of demonstrations, where we hope you will ask questions and learn new modelling techniques.● The leading 4mm finescale specialist traders.● The Society’s Bring and Buy stall where there is bound to be something of interest. Our special thanks go to

members of the Manchester Area Group for running the Bring and Buy stall.

We hope that you enjoy the show — The Scalefour North Team

SMOKE BOX JURYA DCC Steam Sound Seminar

There have been considerable developments in DCC sound systems over recentyears as sound-fitted locomotives become ever more popular in all modellingscales, including P4. Diesel sound files in particular can be very convincing butthere is a feeling amongst some finescale modellers that steam sounds are notalways quite so refined or authentically recreate the sounds they desire.

In order that we can listen to a selection of DCC sound-fitted P4 locos, comparethe results and discuss what improvements we would like to see (hear) in thisfield, a Steam Sound Seminar will take place at 15.00 on the Saturday only ofScalefour North 2017. A P4 test track/rolling road and a DCC system will be madeavailable for any member or visitor to the show to try out their own loco(s), listento other people’s locos, sound systems, features, speakers, etc., and shareknowledge and experiences in a spirit of self-help.

If you have a sound-fitted P4 steam loco that you would like to bring to theseminar then please do so, or if you are just curious what all the fuss is aboutthen equally you will be most welcome. It is also hoped to have a representativefrom the trade present at the seminar.

Are DCC steam locomotive sounds a ‘hit’ or a‘miss’ on layouts such as Leeman Road? Comeand participate in Smoke Box Jury to have yoursay.

The Light Railways Act of 1896 meant railways couldbe built and operated at a lower cost; the line speed

was 25mph, not a lot slower than a normal branch.

The Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway proposed such aline to Cheddar to tap into its trade in tourists visitingthe cliffs and caves, as well as transporting marketgarden produce, especially strawberries and, of course,Cheddar cheese. After the line opened the quarriespersuaded the S&D to rail connect them through thestation so they could ship larger quantities of stone.

The scene shows Cheddar S&DJR in the 1920s with stone,coal, general merchandise and passengers arriving anddeparting. The Cheddar Valley Oxide & Ochre Mill wasbuilt after the line opened.

The layout was constructed as an entry in the ScalefourSociety’s 18.83 Layout Challenge, to build a layout to P4standards in 18.83 square feet. The track plan is fromthe Wild Swan Publication's book Layouts for SmallSpaces by Iain Rice. Much use has been made of standard

products; SMP phosphor bronze rail track, Ratio and Wills kits, Slater’s Plastikard for the mill and Woodland Scenics for grass andfoliage. Most locos, coaches and wagons are kit built. The backscene is one piece of heavy-duty lining paper laminated matt on thefront.

The S&D did not build this line, but this layout supposes it did.

Cheddar S&DJR

Calcutta Sidings is set in theperiod 1989 – July 1991. This

places it between the demise ofthe Class 45s and the late deliveryof the Class 60s, which also coin-cides with the last years ofSpeedlink operations. The layoutitself is based around the Burtonupon Trent area whilst the trainsdepicted assume that the serviceto the breweries lasted longerthan it did in reality. All the trafficinto the yard did exist on theBritish Rail system at the time.The trackwork is a mixture ofColin Craig flat bottom pointworkand track, Exactoscale concretetrack bases along with C&L chairs,ply sleepers and rail and jigs fromthe EMGS stores. The layout isfairly unusual in that an earlierversion was built to EM standards.It also uses a fiddleyard designedto be used by two other layouts ofa similar size. Phil and the other operators will be pleased to answer any questions that you may have about the layout.

Based (very) loosely on Seahouses,the terminus of the North Sunderland

Light Railway, Kitehouses represents anindependent light railway whose opera-tion was taken over by BR around 1949.It ran from an undetermined station onthe East Coast main line to the smallfishing port of Kitehouses. The line stag-gered on for many years, just aboutmaking it into the early diesel era, al-though by this time passenger traffic wasvery sparse with freight traffic just aboutjustifying the line’s continuing existence.

The layout was an entry for the Dieseland Electric Layout Challenge in Septem-ber 2008, which invited modellers todesign and build to P4 standards anexhibition layout where at least three-quarters of the motive power modelled,represent diesel and/or electric proto-types.

David and Tony’s (self-imposed) aim wasto build this layout as an essay in illustrating how easy it is to build a starter P4 layout from available ready-to-run and kit items.Exactoscale New Track components were used for making the trackwork. The buildings have been constructed using off-the-shelf

kits (suitably altered by David) from Willsand Ratio. The stone walls are out-of-the-box Hornby Skaledale while the cattle dockis a Bachmann resin cast item.Since the D&E Challenge David and Tonyhave shown their true colours by introduc-ing three new kit built ex-NER steam loco-motives, altering the motive powerweighting well and truly back towards thesteam era.

Leeman Road stemmed from a desire totry-out DCC control and a wish to model

part of York depot. Initially it was thoughtthat the shed building with its 70-foot turn-table would be ideal. Too big! Back to thedrawing board.

Eventually the other end of the old steamdepot as it was between the years 1962 -1966 was settled on: the steam engineswere in decline and the depot’s sidings werefilling up with new English Electric (Class40) diesels. The area modelled is the cornerwhich was until recently home to a cementdepot and is now full of storage containers.The view blockers at the front were thehouses and working men’s club forming theend of Carlisle Street. An early joy of peek-ing through gaps led to recreating the viewdown the street with the boundary fenceand street light.

Control is by NCE PowerCab, with mostdiesels fitted with sound decoders. Steam

locos are not so fitted, with the lack of a cylinder ‘beat’ matching each revolution the main reason for not using sound chips. Thereis something settling about having a Type 4 simmering away in the background. Again, this has a good deal to do with childhoodmemories. Locos are the usual assortment of kit built or detailed proprietary ones. York had dozens of ex-LNER V2s, B1s and A1s,with visiting locos and specials all re-quiring coaling and turning.

The backscene is painted in acrylics onvinyl (a roller blind) and gives a sensa-tion of depth with no sharp corners. Togive the illusion of space to the left-hand end, where Leeman Road dipsunder the East Coast Main Line, atapered extension piece was madefrom foam board, copying an idea seenon Baz Ward's Zorba's Mine.

W itton Junction is a group project by Ken Bate-man, Dave Fenney and Ian Sadler. Construction

started in 1980 and the first part of the layoutrepresented a prototypical model of Wear Valley locoshed, renamed Witton.

Subsequently the layout has been extended to in-clude a terminus station, goods yard and dockbranch, although this last item is not modelled.Typical North Eastern Railway features are includedwith the station building based on Garforth, the goodsshed based on various locations and working NERslotted signals. Locomotives and rolling stock are amixture of kits and scratchbuilt items, as are thebuildings. Details are continually being added; thelayout is very much a work in progress.

P lumpton Green has been built by Barry Luck,well known for his superb scratch built locomo-

tives of LBSC prototypes. In the early 19th centu-ry, Plumpton was a small settlement betweenLewes and Ditchling in East Sussex. In 1843 therailway arrived, passing about 2 miles to the northof the village, when the link between KeymerJunction and Lewes was built by the LondonBrighton and South Coast Railway. A station waseventually constructed in 1863 and PlumptonRacecourse was opened in 1886, immediatelysouth of the station, which seems to have trig-gered significant improvements – a new signalcabin, with capstan operated crossing gates, andan enlarged goods yard. At either end of thestation lay bye sidings were provided, each about1000ft long, used primarily on race days to ac-commodate race specials.

The model is very closely based on Plumpton as itwas in the period 1900 - 1920. Inevitably somecompromises have been made, hence the namePlumpton Green. The station limits have beenshortened a little, and the lay bye sidings have been truncated, with most of the length of each siding off-scene. The only significantchanges made to the facilities are the provision of the up bay to add some operational interest, principally intended for horse boxes,and the connection from a brickworks at the London end. The layout is controlled by a fully interlocked mechanical lever frame.

Scratchbuilding Wagons Duncan Wilcock

There can be few model railway layouts where a wagon or seventyis not required for their operation. Indeed, the interest inaccurately modelled wagons has increased considerably in thelast decade. The range of models available from the trade, eitherRTR or in kit form, has arguably never been broader or of higherquality. However, such has been the proliferation of prototypewagons that there remain many subjects that are unlikely to beavailable without scratchbuilding or modification of an donormodel.

Well known for his Croft Depot cameo layout, which appeared atScalefour North in 2014, Duncan Wilcock will demonstrate histechniques for researching and building the fleet of traditionalwagons that inhabit it. As well as construction, Duncan also paintsand weathers his wagons to a very high standard, as seen in thepicture opposite.

Modelling the D&E Era Robert Austin

The growing interest in the diesel and electric era reflects theinterests of railway modellers of the more recent generations,although not exclusively so. Robert will be showing what isinvolved in modelling the contemporary railway scene, withspecial reference to the stock required for his developing layoutbased on Shirebrook depot. Similar techniques are, of course,applicable to all models, however, the range of specialist suppliersfor the D&E era might be surprising to those who have neverexplored this fascinating area of the hobby.

Steam Locomotive Construction Steve Duckworth

The art and craft of building model locomotives is seen by someas the pinnacle of railway modelling. Steve Duckworth will beexplaining how he builds locos from kits and from scratch andwill be showing a range of compensated and sprung chassis.Drawing on a wealth of experience from time spent as aprofessional builder, Steve will be happy to answer your questionsand give advice on how to overcome common problemsencountered in typical locomotive kits. Now retired fromcommissions, Steve looks forward to focusing on his S&DJRlocomotives, some of which have graced the pages of ScalefourNews in the past.

Modelling Techniques Andrew Eaton & David Brandreth

One of the joys of the model railway hobby is that there are manytechniques to be mastered in order to complete a layout to thesatisfaction of the builder. One of the remits of the popularMissenden Abbey railway modelling courses is to improve boththe breadth and depth of skills used by the attendees. As part ofthe Missenden team, Andrew and David will attempt to give ataste of what can be accessed. David will cover general kitconstruction, soldering and road vehicles, while Andrew’s topicsinclude trackwork, painting and weathering. Although not everymodelling technique possible can be covered, both demonstratorswill be happy to answer your questions as fully as they can. Why

not bring along one of your stalled modelling projects to askadvice on how to get it underway again?

Getting Started in P4 Paul Willis

There are many hints and tips that can be gleaned by the beginnerto P4 modelling from those who are more experienced and onesuch experienced person is Paul Willis who will be pleased toadvise those new to working to P4 standards, or even those whoare contemplating such as move and want to know more aboutwhat is involved. Paul’s table is an essential port of call foranyone who is starting out in P4.

Building Baseboards Geoff Tiffany

When not busy adding the finishing touches to Dewsbury, Geoffhas been known to build baseboards for other layouts. InScalefour News No. 199, Geoff described how he designed andbuilt the baseboards for Queen’s Road Carriage Sidings, theembryonic extension that Keith Bradbury is making to Steve Hall’smuch admired Halifax King Cross layout. With the same boardson display, Geoff will explain how he achieves such superb results.Covering the selection of materials, cutting and assemblytechniques, and finishing the completed boards to be resistantto the effects of temperature and humidity, this is an essentialport of call for anyone embarking on a new layout.

MERG Kit Assembly MERG Yorkshire Area Group

To mark 50 years of the Model Electronic Railway Group, we arevery pleased to welcome to Scalefour North members of theMERG Yorkshire Area Group who will show the capabilities andassembly of some of the vast range of kits available from theMERG kitlocker. These include a capable DCC command station,a range of layout control modules based on the CBUS two-wiresystem, and inexpensive control boards for miniature servos. Allof these kits are well within the capabilities of anyone with basicsoldering experience and the scope of possibilities offered bythem is breathtakingly wide. Whether you are a seasonedelectronics engineer or you simply fancy dipping your toe intothe water of customized control systems then this demonstrationwill have something to offer you.

TRAVELLING TO SCALEFOUR NORTHScalefour North will be held inQueen Elizabeth Grammar School,about 10 minutes drive fromjunction 41 of the M1, or withineasy reach of Wakefield city centre.

BY car, we recommend approaching Wakefield from the M1Junction 41 following the A650 signposted Wakefield/Morley. Go

straight through the next two roundabouts and at the thirdroundabout take the third exit onto the A61. Keep in the left-handlane to stay on the A61 at the following Y-junction. The QueenElizabeth Grammar School entrance is then about a quarter of a milefurther on, on the left.

Those who enjoy the spectacle of Wakefield city centre can alsoleave the M1 at Junctions 39 or 40 and take a more scenic route toarrive at the show. Leaving the A1 at Junction 38 and following theA638 is also possible. The postcode for your satnav is WF1 3QX.

Enter the school through the main entrance and drive through to themain car park at the rear of the buildings. The exhibition hall is thenon your left. There is plenty of parking space, but please follow thedirections of any stewards on duty. A limited number of spaces fordisabled visitors will be available directly in front of the hall. A moredetailed map of the Grammar School area is given below.

For those who prefer to travel by rail, CrossCountry operate hourlythrough services to Wakefield Westgate from the South West,Birmingham, Derby and Sheffield and also from Edinburgh, Newcastleand York. Virgin Trains East Coast operate from London Kings Cross,Peterborough, Doncaster and Leeds. Local services operate toWakefield Westgate and Kirkgate stations. Good bargains are to behad, especially if you book well in advance. It is quite practical to walk from the stations and will take around 15 – 20 minutes.Walking to Scalefour North from Wakefield Westgate station is easily accomplished in under 20 minutes by following Mulberry Way,Bell Street, Bond Street and Wentworth Terrace to emerge opposite the Grammar School.

Those visitors who would prefer to preserve their energies for the showare advised to catch the Wakefield Free City bus from either Kirkgate orWestgate station to Wakefield bus station. From the bus station, service110 passes Queen Elizabeth Grammar school on Northgate. If taking ataxi to or from the venue, you may find that asking the driver for “Kwegz”makes for easier understanding than using the full name of the school.

All of the layouts, demonstrations, traders and society stands will befound in the Main Hall, as shown on the map opposite. The catering islocated in the Assembly Hall next door, just a few steps away. A selectionof hot and cold meals, as well as tea and coffee will be available.

The Historical Model Railway SocietyThe HMRS is the society for all interested in modelling orresearching the history of railways in Britain. Located at theMidland Railway Centre’s Swanwick Junction site near Butterleyin Derbyshire, our Museum and Study Centre houses the Society’sarchive, library, photographic and drawings collections. You cantake immediate advantage of HMRS membership today by joiningthe Society at our stand. This will give you members’ discounton HMRS Pressfix and Methfix transfers, limited edition HMRSmodel parts and all current HMRS books and publications. If youdon’t join today, you can still join at www.hmrs.org.uk.

The London & North Western Railway SocietyThe LNWR Society is an educational charity dedicated to fosteringinterest in all aspects of the LNWR, its constituents and joint lines.Four documentary services – library, archive, photographic anddrawing – are available to members. In addition, four illustratedjournals and four newsletters are published each year, as well asoccasional portfolios on a single subject. More details can befound on the Webb site – www.lnwrs.org.uk.

The LNER SocietyFounded in 1965, the LNER Society is one of the UK’s senior linesocieties with the aim of promoting the study and accuratemodelling of the London & North Eastern Railway, its constituentsand successors. The Society organizes two meetings per year,usually including visits to attractions with an LNER connection,and works with the National Railway Museum to catalogue

relevant drawings for the Search Engine project. You can findmembership information at www.lnersociety.org.uk.

Missenden Abbey Railway ModellersMissenden Railway Modelling Weekends offer you, the modeller,the opportunity to work with top flight tutors and a host of othermodellers, to improve existing skills, learn new ones, ask ques-tions, gather ideas and go home keen to do more. Typically, aWeekend has 60-plus modellers, work rooms and accommoda-tion that is comfortable and well appointed. All meals areprovided for residents – you can come as a non-resident in whichcase you get lunch and evening meals – and there is a bar forthe evenings though many work through to 10.00pm. There’salso a week-long Retreat - Sunday afternoon to Saturday afterlunch - in early August. Details on the Missenden RailwayModellers’ website: www.missendenrailwaymodellers.org.uk.

Scottish Line SocietiesIt made for interesting times when the pre-Grouping companiesin Scotland did not see eye-to-eye in their relationships, whichwas fairly often. Things are more peaceful nowadays, and thosesocieties which study and record the Caledonian, Glasgow & SouthWestern, Great North of Scotland, Highland, and the North BritishRailways happily cooperate with one another, while maintainingtheir individuality. So a joint Scottish stand will be presented ona foray over the border to Wakefield, led by the CaledonianRailway Association and the Highland Railway Society withsupport from the others.
