The Goods Yard Ltd
Model Railway Builder and Model Railway Shop
OPEN WEEKEND
Tuxford Wagon Works was built by the Lancashire, Derbyshire and East Coast Railway Company in 1897 as part of its plan to link Manchester with the East Coast at Sutton-on-Sea. Ultimately, only the section of the line, between Chesterfield and Lincoln was actually constructed and this was absorbed into the Great Central Railway in 1907. The works, which was responsible for the maintenance of the fleet of wagons and coaches, closed over 50 years ago. However, most of the workshops, including the office building, still survive as part of Lodge Lane Industrial Estate. The site office, which was built in a similar style to that of the station buildings along the route, was home to the Chief Mechanical Engineers of the line and various office staff. It is this building which has now been returned to the manufacture of railway equipment, this time though, it’s model railways that are being constructed.
Come along and see a selection of our working model railways in both OO and N gauges. Our shop has a large selection of second hand model railway equipment and we can supply the full range of PECO track and accessories. There will also be a display of archive railway photographs showing Tuxford works in previous years. Refreshments will be available throughout the event, parking and entrance are FREE.
We are open from 10am to 4pm on both days of the event.

Robertsbridge Model Railway Show 24-25 May 2025
By clogger,
Good little show. Bit biased though as I’m exhibiting at the show and have done so for a couple of years now.

The National Festival of Railway Modelling @ NEC
By 7013,
Considering this is the first show by BRM I thought they did a reall good job.
Quibbles: I know you have to rent the floorspace by the square metere, but it got a bit crowded at times between stalls/layouts.
Positives: Lots of good trade support, some superb layouts, and very helpful friendly staff.
Warley was always going to be a hard act to follow, and the organisers did well.
I can see this growing in the future

Tyneside Model Railway Exhibition
By jacko,
Drove down from Lanark early on Saturday morning (6 hour round trip!) to arrive shortly after 10am. The first surprise was seeing my cousin showing his O gauge layout in the foyer (shown as east Glasson port authority on the programme but it wasn't that). Nice to have a chat with him as we've not met for a couple of years. Moving on to the main halls, there seemed to be plenty of space for viewing, helped no doubt by my being there so early. I'd driven down especially to see Grantham, Pelaw and Fencehouses having seen them in the mags and I wasn't disappointed so spent at least an hour swapping between the three. All three layouts exceeded expectations but it was also great to see Richmond in the flesh, it having only just appeared in print last month. I saw Alston in Glasgow in February and there's been no drop in quality. However, my favourite (and I'm probably biased as I'm modelling the s&c) was Kirtley Bridge - what a superb layout, the quality of modelling and the atmosphere was outstanding. I think I spent around 3 hours at the show and was absolutely wrecked by the time I got home but it was well worth it. I'll be watching out for next year's dates to make sure they're kept clear.
