Portsmouth RaileX 2025 #2
A little more from Portsmouth. Pwllhelli (P4) shows how a modern, rationalised, terminus can still be interesting – add some engineers trains. The Boston Model Railway Society brought Tytton Hall Yard (OO) south. Always good to see a new layout … Continue reading

My quieter week turned out to be just as busy as the previous ones, so I passed on a visit to the Portsmouth show. As usual, my faithful reporter sent me a few pictures. And I, as usual, have selected … Continue reading

Alton FEBEX 2025 #2

I opted out of a visit to Alton this year, despite the promise of breakfast beforehand. It had been a busy week, I’d been to two shows the previous weeks, and I needed a quiet day. The layouts looked excellent, … Continue reading
