Dates for your diary….

London Festival of Railway Modelling – 2018 #3
We’ll start today with some thoughts on layout design. It is noticeable how the classic branch line layout has been supplemented at shows by the ’roundy-roundy’ with few points. It was interesting to compare a few of those layouts on … Continue reading
London Festival of Railway Modelling – 2018 #2
Durham Road TMD followed the standard loco shed conventions that are quite common now we all have too many locomotives. But this is an excellent example of the genre, especially due to the size, being in ‘O’ gauge, and with … Continue reading

Chiltern Model Railway Exhibition 2018 #1
Time out with Mr Atfield on Saturday, visiting two shows north of the river (Thames). We started at the Brentwood toy fair. These things are a real lottery for ‘N’ gauge – it’s OK if you want to buy Hornby … Continue reading
