After a slight diversion to the ESNG meeting, back to Allan’s photos of the exhibition down at Robertsbridge. Today we have the other layouts on show. There was no show guide, so I have been unable to identify a couple … Continue reading

Rother Valley Railway show #1
A couple of weeks old, but here is a bit of a photodump of Allan’s photos of the exhibition down at Robertsbridge. Our friends from the West Sussex Group contributed several exhibits, so today is rather monopolised by their layouts! … Continue reading

A walk on the wild side?

New Forest MRS Exhibition 2024 #2

Double Dawes
Two sets of pictures from last weekend. Allan (and others) went to the East Grinstead model railway exhibition. Here are a few of the layouts. Fence Houses NCB. Upton Lacey (N). Every time I see this layout it is nearer … Continue reading

Another show that I didn’t get to (and it looks a good one), but some photos supplied by Mr Dawes, who got there with a bevy of Derek’s. Not all layouts recorded, here, just the Chairman’s Choice. The Royal Albert … Continue reading
