Andrew Ullyott’s superb layouts of Ashcombe Road, Weston-Super-Mare and Clevedon have been widely exhibited.

Though Ashcombe Road is now retired from exhibition, the rolling stock lives on in Andrew’s new layout of Clevedon (see below).

Ashcombe Road featured in the Summer 2014 issue (199) of Model Rail magazine and in Feb 2007 Railway Modeller magazine. In the annual competition for the RM Cup voted by readers, Andrew was runner up for 2007. The layout also featured in Model Railway Journal No 162 in November 2005. See also Magazine articles page.

It is in 4 mm/ft scale EM gauge, and is virtually dead scale in length from Ashcombe Road to Milton Avenue. Clevedon and Manor Terraces have been realigned slightly to compress depth. It depicts the period 1935-6. Andrew has modelled the following stock: 2-4-0T No 1 Clevedon, 0-6-0T Terriers No 2 Portishead and No 4, 0-6-0T No 3 Weston, 2-4-0T No 4 Hesperus, both railcars and trailer, several coaches and wagons.

Andrew’s Clevedon layout will be exhibited next at:  Sodbury Vale Model Railway Show Sat 6 March 2024.

 

Clevedon had a 6 page article in the May 2017 issue of Railway Modeller and also featured in Model Railway Journal issue 229 in 2014 and Railway Modeller March 2015.

Both of Andrew’s WC&PR layouts featured together for the first time in a unique WC&P Anniversary Exhibition in Portishead on Sunday 22 Oct 2017. This happened again at the 2nd WC&P Anniversary Exhibition on Sunday 2 October 2022.
