Just a reminder that we have our exhibition weekend again in January. Just incase anyone has forgotten to put it on the calendar 😀.
it's only a few months away now it's seem this year is going so quickly. Anyone else thinking the same? Well put the date in your phone calendar, diary and look out for more updates over the next coming months on stands that are attending and layouts.

We started on our small gauge test track a few weeks ago. It will have z, n ,tt oo and em gauge. The OO will be in code 100 so will be able to run older models.

Test track progress: we have now completed construction of our test track boards. Next job is build the trestles for legs.

Come and join us and help us put it together.
we are currently welcoming new members 🚂🚅🚄🚝🚈
