KH1

411 views

It's show time again but very difficult to type this as desk is literally covered with rolling stock all newly fitted with my new home brewed couplings. The complete couplings saga will be related soon but it has not been an easy journey and have not seen bed until 3am two days on trot now.

 

So Saturday 27th Oct, Welshpool Town Hall. It is looking like a really nice line up of layouts put together by a very competent exhibition manager. Cannot do better than the little blub in the back of Narrow Gauge and Industrial Review so shall copy verbatum;

 

Mid Wales Model Railway Show

 

This is now an established annual event and takes place on 2 floors of the Town Hall, Welshpool. The venue is 10 minutes walk from the Mainline Railway Station and 10 minutes walk from the Welshpool & Llanfair Railway at Raven Square (see WLLR website for timetable) There will be a variety of Model Railway Layouts ranging from N gauge to G Scale. Ample parking is nearby. Organised by the Newtown (Mid-Wales) MRS. Saturday 27th October, OPENING TIMES 10AM TO 4.30PM. Admission charges: £4- accompanied children free.

 

Among the 15 layouts on show this year there are a number which will be of particular interest to REVIEW readers.

 

Boot - Peter Kazer, 1:48 scale, Ravenglass and Eskdale 3ft gauge
Crowsnest Wharf - Trevor Hughes, 7mm scale, Snailbeach DistrictRailways
Lydham Heath - Barry Norman, S scale Bishops Castle Railway
Up the Line - Kevin Hughes, 7mm scale WW1
Castlefinn - Chester MRC, 4mm scale 12mm gauge

Both Crowsneat Wharf (104) and Up the Line (110) have been the subject of feature articles in the REVIEW issues noted.

On the subject of the latest Review there is a very good article on a layout, Fen End something or other ......!
