Our H0 layout has been out and about this year. Back in June we attended the Astolat show in Guildford. It was nice for the layout to be on public display again, and we were glad to see it proved popular with the visiting public.
We have one further outing for 2025, with the layout being displayed at the Tolworth Show Train, held over the weekend of 8th - 9th November; hosted by the Hampton Court club. More details below:
Not to be outdone, progress has also been continuing apace on our 00 gauge layout. This model depicts a modern day preserved railway, somewhere in the south of England (although with particular links to Hampshire and certainly inspired by a nearby preservation centre!). Track has been laid, trains have been running (controlled by DCC) and now the scenery is starting to take shape.
In other news, 2025 (27th September), sees the 200th anniversary of the first run of the Stockton and Darlington railway. This event has see much celebration throughout the country, but what does this anniversary actually mean? Well, we have a very brief gaunt through history with our take on what this anniversary actually means, and how this relates to the overall history of railways.
Finally, now the summer is coming to an end, thoughts turn to more indoor activities. If you are looking for an interesting and fulfilling pastime, why not pay us a visit to see what your local club is up to? We have monthly open evenings on the first Friday of the month; where our layouts are set up and operated - please see our Facebook page for more regular updates.
