Kexby is inspired by the DVLR. Which ran from York Layerthorpe to Cliff Common, and remained independent throughout its existence. I’ve changed history, and assumed that the line was taken over by the LNER. I’ve also assumed that nationalisation hasn’t taken place, so even though the layout is set in the early 1950s, everything is still in LNER livery.

This is the first time Kexby has been exhibited. And over the next few years I intend to do a lot more work to it. The cardboard buildings will be replaced by plastic ones from the Wills Craftsman range. Many more details will be added to create cameo scenes. And all of the rolling stock will be weathered, and added to with some kit built locos augmenting the RTR items.
