Details of layouts that appeared at the 2013 Show:
Clee Valley Railway: 7mm/ft '09' (Peter Leadley) An attempt at modelling a 15inch gauge miniature railway somewhere in England during the early part of the 21st Century, obviously a tourist attraction! (layout's debut)
Colinton: 4mm/ft 'S4' (Alistair Dickson) The layout replicates an actual location, Colinton on the Caledonian Railway's Balerno branch to the south west of Edinburgh, now part of Edinburgh district.

Wansbeck Road: 2mm/ft '2FS' (Mick Simpson) A County Durham colliery village station which is set in the period 1957-1962, while based on prototype locations it is purely a figment of imagination.
