The Club was approached with the aim of making use of an existing layout and expanding it to incorporate locations that physical filming would be undertaken. Our Canons Cross layout was selected as a suitable candidate. A small team was put together maintaining social distancing.

We made use of donated buildings that were damaged or overpainted, stripped them down, refurbished and repaired to reflect the syle of Watling Street in Thaxted, Suffolk. The new boards were actully reclaimed damaged boards from the Stamford Show vandalism. WIthin 3 months we had a completed and operational extension.

We then had a dry run session with staff from Railway Modeller in attendance to interview, video and document for their November 2021 virtual show and publication.

Finally we took the layout to Thaxted to fit into their extended set of a cut away shed and commit to being 'Train Wranglers' for a day and witness a full film crew in action.
