BR southern region in EM - one of my all time favourites!
This is a layout that has inspired me greatly and still does - from the moment I first saw it in the MRJ quite a few years back. I really like its simplicity and the convincing London suburban look. The muted colours; the run down track; the EMU's; the whole shooting match in fact! It was sold on Ebay a few years ago to some lucky punter…http://freedom.is/models/layouts/elm.php
Cheers again

I saw this Elm park layout at the Three Spires exhibition in Truro im sure it was only last August i saw it the new owners must be exhibiting it.
It is an extremely good layout

I wish I could see it one day; the fact that I probably won't is one of the reasons I'm building my own BR southern region layout with third rail (St. Mary Hoo). Elm Park has definitely influenced my current project in many ways.

the new owners must be exhibiting it.
It was at Glasgow in February too.
As you say, an excellent layout.

I'd say someone was inspired by Addiscombe to which Elm Park bears a striking resemblance in essence if not in full detail.
