The layout is a 009, fictitious Lynton and Barnstable extension called Cliffhanger, by John de Fressynet, who also built the well known (and well admired) County Gate and Bratton Flemming layouts.
All of John's work has an unbelievable amount of research behind it and detail in it. If you are not aware of his websites, there is a link on the left for Bratton Flemming, County Gate and Cliffhanger.
I believe that the layout Cliffhanger, would be one of the best, if not the best exhibition layouts, with County Gate close behind. Below is a picture he has put up on the 'News and Views' section of the layout's website, which makes the layout look spectacular, even without all of the scenic work done!
Not much has been done to the layout since the last update, but a lot of thoughts have been going round my head. Firstly, I’ve managed to find another operator for the Warley show, Oliver. He is a Buffet Steward on the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railways who has recently started in 009. He has kindly agreed to bring some of his own stock to run at Warley. Also, the forms for Warley have been sent. A update of my rolling stock and locomotives will be posted shortly, along with potential candidates for future purchases.
