Busy start to Railex Buxton - we’re here today and tomorrow with Minories in the Pavilion Gardens. There’s plenty to see in the show and it’s set in the very picturesque gardens with a kids funfair outside #buxton #modelrailways
A bit of prep ahead of our trip to the heart of the Peak District this weekend - updating the box trains + weathering some new fleet additions. Come and see us in the fabulous Pavillion Gardens for Railex Buxton- from 9.30 20/1 June #modelrailwayexhibition @EMGauge @ModelRailClub
Definitely looking forward to the trip over to Bracknell tomorrow for a bit of inspiration #railwaymodellling
Got a few bits on my list and will no doubt be tempted by something else!

We’re having a final test of Golden Mile before we head west to Abingdon Abrail next weekend - always a good show, and well worth a visit for layouts and trade alike. Do say hi if you come along #modelrailwayexhibition #Abingdon @ModelRailClub
We’re just about set up and ready for the @NewburyMRC exhibition tomorrow - looks like some good layouts and bargains on the club second hand stall. @ModelRailClub @EMGauge
Not long until our next exhibition - a return to @farehammrc with the expanded layout. Always a good show, and the layout and trade list looks good this year. Come and say hi….
It’s been a great show so far - lots of conversations about modelling - as is the focus of shows like this. Do come and say hi.
Looking forward to this - our first time to this show and second time to Wakefield - do come along and say hi, whilst enjoying some of the finest 4mm scale modelling and trade #Wakefield #Yorkshire #expoEM

A set of @accurascale 21T wagons have been through the workbench recently. Brake gear is the bane of my life in conversions - always in the way - but happily here we’re are provided with a set that can be swapped out along with the wheels, for a fairly simple project @EMGauge

Time to crack on with some flat bottom rail track building for the next layout. Staring this one at home, but will be working on it at the Doncaster exhibition in just 4 weeks - you’ll find my demo stand on the first floor next to MERG. #emgauge #emgauge70s @EMGauge @BRMmagazine
From this….. to this. Some holiday rewiring on Minories, replacing the below baseboard relays that switch the power to the rails and interlock the points on the double junction to avoid conflicts with new ones that are above the boards. 1/2
Exhausted after a weekend away at the National Festival of Railway Modelling with the layout as well as helping to organise and run the revamped show at the NEC. It was busy all day each day - with people watching the layout through to the end. Not much time to grab photos…
Leaving this here - Minories at the National
Festival of Railway Modelling, this weekend. Our 4th and final show of the year. Stand L58.
We are looking forward to being there - come and say hi on stand L58.
The National Festival of Railway Modelling takes place this weekend at the NEC in Birmingham - 60 layouts (including 3 of ours), tons of trade and demos too. It’s much cheaper to book in advance - with discounted parking - by Friday. See you there… rmweb.co.uk/shows/nfrm-2024/
A chance to see the latest releases from @accurascale on our test tracks at the @ModelRailClub mini exhibition this weekend.
With a bit of luck I’ll have mine converted to @EMGauge by then…
