Each weekend there will be two different layouts each weekend for the next few weekends.

 

Admission free, train rides at normal fares.

Sorry, what is this?  I was at the Middleton Railway on Saturday and saw no model railways.  If I missed them, they were not well signposted.

 

There were also no trains running on Saturday.  Is this a Sunday only event?  
 

There is also no link.

The models are planned for both each Saturday and Sunday they are located on the mezzanine floor up the steps next to Henry de Lacy.

 

@Crantocksorry you had a wasted visit, this was due to person attempting to fill jobs late on Friday when they should have been filled on Monday.  It's the first time in 60+ years that we have cancelled a day.  I was disgusted as were many of us who could have run the railway and were on site.

Well lets not explore that. Far from wasted as the museum stands on its own.  There does need to be a sign urging people to go up the stairs as I confess I didn’t.

Our Pop-Up model railway exhibitions continue with 'Watson Street' (EM gauge) and 'Dolwyn' (4mm narrow gauge). Diesel service on Saturday with 'Austins No1' and steam on Sunday with NER 1310 back in action. Hope to see you all there!

 

This will be a premier for Watson Street.

The bank holiday weekend (all 3 days) will feature another 2 layout.  One of which is the colliery layout built by various Middleton members.  I have been asked to keep an eye and operate this on Saturday.

 

Different layouts of various scales etc are planned each weekend until the end of September.

It's Bank Holiday so that only means one thing...3 days of steam with 1310! Also the continuation of our pop-up model railway exhibition. This weekend sees 'Middleton Colliery' in 00 built by members of the Trust. Also 'Swiss Cottage' in 00/009 depicting a WW1 trench supply yard. Let's hope the sunshine makes an appearance as well.

Last weekend we had an O scale shunting layout based upon Slough Estates just a few feet away from our Hudswell Clarke loco Slough Estates number 3 (model of which was also on site).

 

Well it's back to a little normality this weekend after our very successful gala last week. However there's still plenty to see with three more model railways on display. 'River Don Steelworks' in 00 gauge, 'Angst-Lesspork' in 009 and 'Lockden' also in 009. There is some fantastic modelling talent on show so pop along for a look.

For this weekend only our usual service will be steam operated both days for NO extra cost. Brookes No1 will be in action on both Saturday and Sunday from 10.30am AND we have our ever-popular pop-model railway exhibits. Come and enjoy a ride in the last of the summer sunshine and take a stroll in the park.
