The main theme of this issue is therefore exhibitions, and ours in particular. BMR-related articles are being held over until next issue when we should have major news for you all. This issue features three reports of note. The first is the unexpurgated version of Roger Bradgate’s layout article, the edited version of which featured in a recent issue of Hornby magazine. The second is Adrian’s “rule book” or guidance notes on how he selects layouts for our shows. The third is an interesting blog (for the few of you who may not know, blog is short for WebLog and is an online internet log or kind-of-diary) from one of our layout exhibitors at last year’s show. Hopefully the next issue will not be too long in gestation. From this issue onwards the TrackWorker will be available online via the club website members area (www.bentleyrailway.co.uk/members). A very limited number of paper copies will be available at both of our club locations on a first-come-first-served basis for those who still do not have access to the World Wide Web. The next issue publication date will depend on material supplied by YOU, so please send your submissions to me at the email address above as soon as you can. Happy modelling.

A1 60163 “TORNADO” - a day out to remember, by Dave Ham On the 25th April I was on the train hauled by “Tornado” to Edinburgh and what a treat. It was all secret until we got on board at King’s Cross because the whole trip was being filmed by the BBC. It was for Top Gear - a Race to the North. Steam Dreams (The Cathedrals Express) was sponsoring the trip which was all dining, in comfortable Pullman seating. Just as well as it was an 8 hour trip (Kings Cross 07-26 depart, arrival 15-26 Edinburgh) with stops at Grantham, York and Edinburgh or we would all be in a flat pack. Four stops for water and two for coal; these took place in a loop or goods depot and lost us a lot of time. Who won (Steam train, Car, Motor bike)? - watch the telly programme (shown last week on BBC1 with repeats on BBC3 later this summer - Ed). A very good day was had by all, Iris and myself up at 05-00 and back to a welcome bed at midnight. Any members interested in Steam Dreams trips contact me as I get a group of steam-minded friends together. This makes a friendly and enjoyable day out and at times very good ticket prices. The above trip was not open to the general public but I was offered tickets for sale to my friends. Food for thought in the future. Brochures are available. There is another round trip on the 15th August from Waterloo luncheon circular, also an evening one via East Croydon (psd) Redhill (psd) also Edenbidge (psd) and Tonbridge (psd) then a clockwise circuit of the Ashford, Romney Marsh, Hastings and Tonbridge route. (psd)= pick up and set down. Sorry if you missed the one on the 21st June. I did put up an offer at Bentley. Dave Ham. Contact phone No 0208 654 5383. Any time answerphone. NO E MAIL: A copy of Steam Dreams brochure is available for reference at the Bentley Railway Station Building / Ticket Office. - 2 - TW_June2009 contents.indd 2-3 29/06/2009, 05:49 Model and Miniature TrackWorker Summer 2009 For a while now, many of us have wondered how the Exhibition Manager selects layouts for our very successful exhibitions. Back in March at our AGM, we asked him to make his selection ‘rules’ known to us. I am pleased to report that we will all know now - here it is . Guidance for Invitation of Model Railway Layouts by Adrian Colenutt, Exhibition Manager, Uckfield M.R.C. The choice of layout to attend the Exhibition is always a personal one. What may be one person’s idea of their ideal layout is not always another’s. However we do try and have a diverse mix of layouts at our relatively small venue. Looking back over the last ten years it has been rare for more than two layouts of the same scale and gauge to be present at any one show. Despite the small size of our venue, we continue to attract the railway modeller, as opposed to the visiting family, due to the high quality of the layouts and trade we are able to source. These modellers are prepared to pay a premium to attend such an exhibition. The attendance of the railway modeller also has a direct correlation with the type and quality of Trader willing to attend our exhibition. However there is a scarcity of high quality layouts, especially in the south east, and so a high proportion of our expenditure is spent on having to bring them from further away. A balance is always sought between the expense of bringing a layout to Uckfield, the subsequent enhanced visitor experience and the possible implications on any financial surplus from running the show. A few questions have been asked as to what is looked for when inviting a layout to attend the event. So we have put together a few guidelines below for your interest. However they are guidelines. Some items if not met will definitely result in an invite not being issued but, if for example, an otherwise excellent layout which doesn’t have a backscene but meets all the other criteria, may well be offered an invite - especially if it is of a scale/gauge ratio that helps us maintain our diverse mix of exhibits.

Editorial Yet again, the Digest has been well supported by authors who are keen to share modern techniques to build models of the pre-grouping period. Despite, or possibly because of the period modelled, various IT based approaches have been used to tackle the problems of modelling Victorian prototypes. In this edition, there is the follow up to the item in Issue 2, in which the patterns for a Craven carriage were generated on a Cameo Duplicutter. There are two very different approaches to 3D printing and there is more on the visualisation of Lewes station before its rebuilding. I find these new approaches both refreshing and exciting, as they add whole new dimensions to the hobby and offer new opportunities. This is in no way to denigrate the more traditional skills, which may involve decorating the streets of Vintner’s Yard with horse poo, a dollop at a time.

This lobbying has included attendance at numerous public, council, government and study meetings, including addressing the Legislative Council on the issues associated with the Strategic Infrastructure Corridors Bill. I have, since the commencement of the project, mentored the LNER team as an external advisor on how best to put their case for the establishing a tourist rail opportunity. I have an overarching interest and passion for seeing our operational heritage kept alive where it is sustainable to do so and I believe I have some expertise in determining when there is a good community outcome to pursue preservation, along with a track record of engaging our community to take up the cause and deliver successful outcomes. By way of background: • I am a registered professional engineer running my own civil and structural engineering firm since 2006. I graduated in 1992 with honours and completed an MBA in 2006 • Chairman of the Association of Tourist and Heritage Rail (ATHRA) since 2013 representing the 73 accredited railways and many museum groups across Australia • Chairman of the Tasmanian Association of Tourist Railways which was founded in 1996 for all bar 7 years. • Winner of Engineers Australia prestigious Monash Medal for my contribution to engineering heritage preservation.
