As mentioned in the exhibition diary in the current issue of Scalefour News, the forthcoming Uckfield show will feature two P4 layouts. One of these will be Plumpton Green, last seen at our AGM but the other one will be Ravenscroft Sidings and not Elcot Road as listed. Mr Secretary Ainsworth, compilier of said diary is even now writing out 100 lines "I must get the diary entries in the News correct."

Plumpton Green is Barry Luck's new layout featuring the LBSC in all its glory c 1910 and based on Plumpton in East Sussex with a few tweaks.

In contrast to sunny Sussex, Ravenscroft Sidings, which was build by my son, with a bit of help from me, features a steelworks in Teesside and has not been seen as far south as Sussex before. You can see pictures of it at
