NGSE and on my workbench

The show has been and gone, and I’ll admit to being very relieved. And also delighted that it has been a great success. The only problem with that is, everyone is already asking about 2020 – it’s too early to … Continue reading

The day after the day before….

Saturday is almost here
It’s almost here! This evening we’ll go into battle to get the school organised for the show, and welcome the first exhibitors. Then Saturday, it’s all hard work and hopefully a lot of fun meeting old and new friends. And, … Continue reading

London Festival of Railway Modelling – 2019 – #2
