Orpington & District MRS Exhibition 2024
Off to the romantically named Pratts Bottom this morning for the Orpington & District show. Having been to Birmingham in the week, it was good to have Mr Dawes driving, and just spot bluebells, lambs and other wildlife. The show … Continue reading

Basingstoke Model Rail 2024
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

Tonbridge MRC show 2024
Last Saturday was the Tonbridge show. One of the largest one day shows, certainly in the south-east, and always a good one. And it’s popular, as it has one of the longest queues to get in that I’ve seen! Mr … Continue reading

Erith MRS exhibition 2024
I didn’t get to the Erith show this year, but Allan sent me a selection of photos of the N gauge exhibits. So I’ve posted a few of them below. An old friend to start with, but Graham Bridge’s Southwark … Continue reading

Southampton MRS exhibition 2024 #3
So, here is the final tranche of photos from Southampton. A quick look at most of the layouts, and some very good modelling here on the third day of posting, but not the layouts that immediately caught my eye. It … Continue reading

Southampton MRS exhibition 2024 #2
Back today with another selection of excellent layouts from Southampton. I’ve seen Rossiter Rise before, but I think that the layout has been extended with an underground Underground (so to speak) workshop as in the photos below. I’ve always liked … Continue reading

Southampton MRS exhibition 2024 #1
Was it really 2019 when I last visited the Southampton show, in nearby Eastleigh? Last Saturday I kept Mr Dawes company as he drove down to the show. An easy journey, and we even found a nearby parking spot when … Continue reading
