With kind permission from the Model Railway Journal, I attach some photographs taken a number of years ago of both Dunwich and Blakeney (both EM gauge layouts).  Dunwich was built by a team lead by the late Roy Jackson and featuring superb buildings constructed by Geoff Kent.  Blakeney was later built by Geoff as a personal project.  Both layouts still survive under different ownership and Dunwich has been renamed and regauged to S4. In my humble opinion, both are excellent examples of the modellers’ art.
