The North of England Line is all ready to make an early start in the morning, for the 300 mile trip.  Looking forward to attending as we haven't taken part in a show since May this year.

  We don't get invited to venture "Darn Sarf" very often, so it will be a nice change and we would welcome more opportunities.............. hint, hint........ :mosking:

See you there..........

Good view of France despite today's inclement weather.

 

 

loco graveyard and  Russian layout next to a backdrop of the English Channel,  perfect view to pass the two days as a layout operator -  thanks for a great show and the help of the club members when my van broke down 1/2 mile away

Thanks to everyone at Folkstone Model Railway Show. The North of England Line, Rumbling Bridge and The Brick, all from Scarborough and District Railway Modellers, had a great weekend as your guests. We were well looked after and we all agreed that the venue has the best view of all the shows we have attended over the years.

 

Thanks again and we hope your show was a success. All the layouts on show were to a very high standard.
