If I ever do see Millicent Street myself, I'll now be expecting to see it with bunting & balloons overhead.....

Went to see Millicent Street today, great little exhibition, the buildings all benefit from closer inspection.


The Humber Packet public house, having it's front doors repaired, but not bothering the locals.


S.C.Granthams, complete with Triang Big Big Train sets in the window.


Haydens Bakers, busy serving customers


And a nice selection of footwear in Davies Shoe Shop

And of course not forgetting the excellant rolling stock.

Nice to see that you picked up on a lot of the small details that we put into the model, that are not immediately visible.

Thanks Neil, I understand the toyshop handiwork is yours.
I also understand all the shop and most of the business names are named after members, which I think is a great touch.

A few more from Saturday.

Lovely pics - even though the scenes have been shown before a slightly different angle makes them seem really fresh.

Thats a fair point and why I chose the first set of photos, because of the different angles, it was good on Saturday, you could get really close to the layout, it would be good to see views of the layout from the operators viewpoint.

Yep the layout is being dusted off for its first outing of the year and we may even remember how it works.

No car showroom for this one. This time we are off for a weekend at the seaside for an exhibition in a museum ...........in the town of Immingham! Where we could virtually see the sea from the show if it wasn't for the giant Chemical Works in the way!

The exhibition is usually excellent and as its held in the museum the venue is just as interesting.

Drop by and say Hi if you are visiting.

Ahhh, I did wonder what hoes ( of any variety ) were doing in a shoe shop .

We are out and about again. The layout is all set up and ready for the show in the museum at Immingham this weekend.

I so want to see this------ one day perhaps.

That about covers the meaning. It's just one of a number of late 60s Hull signs and graffiti featured on the layout. Its location facing the river meant it became more noted as a sighting point for Trawlers returning to their home port.

Next time out this year will be at Stafford for Guildex. Next year so far looks like we will be staying in Yorkshire and possibly venturing up into Scotland.

Fantastic!! That makes even the non-members ticket price well worth it!

First day at Immingham down and the layout has gone down well with the public and other layout operators. The most asked about aspects at this show so far has been how the various different brickwork finishes on the buildings were done.

A few shots taken today of the layout in action.


Including the WD substituting on the PW working.

Instead of its more usual coal working as seen here.

I was really impressed with Millicent Street today at Immingham, well done to all involved

The show itself is of a very high standard and well worth a visit if you can tomorrow.

A few more general shots of the layout in operation today after what has been overall a relatively fuss free weekend at Immingham Show.

The sort of view we envisaged from the start for this model.


A couple of overall view showing how all yhe various scenes work.


The WD which proved to be the most commented on item of stock on the layout this weekend.
