Model Railway Builder - Open WeekendThe 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.

Weston-Super-Mare Model Railway Show 2026
Great mix of layouts and trade,
....but the floorplan created real bottlenecks around the entrance which was also the route between halls (via the changing rooms!) and so was already going to be busy anyway. But there were further trade stands and coffee stand put there.... creating groups of people lingering and blocking...... why oh why!
The catering van outside - ended up giving up because as we all stood queuing to buy food, nothing happening in the van, there was a lot of playing with kids and babies but the 4 people there couldn't manage to free up one to take orders.
