    The standard of entries in this year's competitions - judged by Mike Sharman and Tim Shackleton - was as high as ever, with scratchbuilds slugging it out with heavily adapted kits.

    Johnson 0-4-4T built by Morgan Gilbert, Thompson suburban coaches built by Keith Bradbury, Highland road van and Caledonian Railway tank wagon built by Ray Nolton, GWR 'County' 4-4-2T built by Jeff Day, gasworks retort house scratchbuilt by Andy McMillan
