Wortley had its First outing at Wadebridge exhibition in Cornwall, there was a few problems at the very beginning of the show with the electric not working as planned, however these were quickly overcome.
Then there was a few problems when shunting wagons in the goods area with around 5 derailments over the weekend.
Apart from that the layout was received well especially by younger modellers, and plenty of questions were asked about the DCC system and general questions too.
Dominick has decided to extend the layout, from 12 foot to 16 foot and add signals also were re wiring the layout plus adding detailing around the Depot and Station with accessories and more buildings
