A small selection of scenes from the Merseyside & South West Lancashire Group's Christmas gathering, during Rainhill MRC's 2022 Christmas show.
Featuring Tapp by Ian Barker, Fort Whiting by Charles Insley, St Mary's Quay by Chris Meaney, Tan Yr Allt & Dwffyr Uchaf by Alan Mountfied, Ammobaux by Richard Pike, and Fablewood* by David Hennessey. Also including a selection of narrow gauge layouts participating in the main hall downstairs, with Llynair, West Ridge, and an unidentified layout by a Rainhill MRC member.
*A late replacement for a 5.5 scale layout, which unfortunately had to pull out at short notice.

The 5.5 Scale Modular Group were also present, with their own 5.5 scale layout.

Comments welcome as always.
Thank you for your efforts David. It looks as if it was a good show with excellent narrow gauge participation, I'd have very much liked to have been there myself!
Some layouts that I haven't seen before, I (and I expect lots of others) would love to get more information about them.

Hello David - thanks very much for your photos. It is always good to see what people are showing.
A request: would it be possible to put the name of the layout under (or above) each photo? Often it is obvious, but for others it is less so and it would be useful to be certain which is which!
Thanks, Julian
David,
Further to Julian's reply - if you can put the layout name as a caption to each photo as well as: if you know, the name of the owner/exhibitor and if it is relevant, the scale, just so that unfamiliar layouts can be seen to be 4mm or 7mm scale for example!
Thanks
Mick
