0Twickenham & District MRC are re-launching their annual G Gauge Event on August 2nd. The club has always had a strong G gauge following and at the moment we have seven dedicated G gaugers and we're looking to attract a few more.
The Event will run in our clubrooms from 1pm to 5pm and will feature our G gauge layout RIVER STREET GAS WORKS, plus our G gauge circular test tracks PLUS we will be setting up three G gauge tracks in the field alongside our clubrooms for LIVE STEAM RUNNING!!!
Anyone reading this is welcome to come along and bring stock to run. There is no charge for the G gauge event, but there will be a BBQ available on the day which we will need to charge for if you want to partake.
PLEASE send me a PM if you wish to take advantage of the BBQ as we want to make sure that we have enough food on site to cope with demand.
The address is KERSWELL HALL, 125 WILLS CRES, TW3 2JF
Please send me a PM if you fancy coming along and being a part of this event - it's family friendly and so, partners and children are very welcome.

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.
