Mine have to be Batty Moor.........


Twickenham & District Model Railway Club. Batty Moor.

and Chee Tor...........oh no, that's finescale so is ruled out

Mine will always be 'Littlewood' 

Not particularly realistic compared to others mentioned but extremely entertaining, great selection of stock, fantastic automation in DC, working level crossing lights/barriers (before you could buy off-the-shelf modules!), and some great detailing


LITTLEWOOD, British N Gauge Model Railway

It was seeing this layout at Spalding that put the idea back in my mind to return to model railways and N Gauge

Rugby Road by Ian MacIntosh has always impressed me. A huge layout but oozing with atmosphere and instantly recognisable as LMS/BR(M). Here are some pix:

I enjoyed the layout video, one of my favourite areas, I go hiking round
Ribblehead and Dentdale from time to time.

Sorry Mike, but for me 'Rugby Road' is a case of overkill :

- too big
- too much track
- too much stock gathering dust on the layout

It is difficult to understand the purpose of it all.

With so much space available I would have gone for a layout that is part urban, part rural.

Best regards,

With so many excellent layouts on this forum it's difficult to choose, Frankland and Elvinley have already been mentioned, I particularly like Chetcombe it creates the feel of Dorset very well.

Melton Mowbray North is a pleasure to watch...

Hedges Hill Cutting is inspirational in its execution

Loch Tat is just lovely!

And a more recent one that has just occurred to me is Vale of Oxbury - lovely crisp modelling and even a bit of DCC sound!

For me the tiny Rorgyle is an inspiration- exceptional realism and travels by bus nestled in a shopping wheely-bag....

Larger layouts- my leader is Bishop Wearburn.  Melton Mowbray North is super but I prefer John's earlier layout as it depicts the area I grew up in....

A couple of excellent layouts from near where I am now are Howard Staniforth's Armathwaite and Trevor Webster's Stamford East (the latter noe in Manchester in the care of Robin Fox).

All the very best

Of course most modeller's REAL favourite layout is......

the one you've just got to the stage where you can proudly take out to a show so others can stand there and admire it!

I don't think I could narrow it down to just one layout, I used to be indecisive but now I am not quite sure 

Law Junction is a layout that I have spent a lot of time at shows admiring and will continue to do so .

Banbury which I saw all too breifly at TINGS has been of real inspriation for me.

Thanks for all the replies. I'm liking Melton Mowbray North especially.

I enjoyed the construction thread and the finished product of Old Warren TMD.

I would echo Banbury and Law Junction.  Both of them have been an inspiration for our club's N gauge group.

Cheers,

Dave

Exactly!! If our OWN  constructions aren't our favourites (if only for that moment) then what is the point?
