An opportunity for running coarse O gauge electric and clockwork trains on 3-rail track.Vintage as well as modern trains can be run so Hornby tinplate and even Bassett-Lowke may run.Revival tinplate such as Ace, Darstaed and Seven Mill also very welcome, we can also accommodate MTH. Mostly models of steam trains but Diesel/electric welcome too. Informal group so as long as it's O gauge and has wheels it will be welcome.We hope to make it possible to run 2-rail at our February 27.

Fourtracks planned: (1) 27" (Atlas) & 36" radius (Merkur tinplate) and 50" radius (Atlas) (2) 27” Radius (Atlas)

 

Even if you have no trains to bring, why not just come to enjoy these amazing trains running in a beautiful English village virtually underneath the eighty-two arch, 1.2 km Harringworth viaduct? A stunning location. A six-coach O gauge train measures about ten feet in length so they are amazing to watch. Close to the beautiful Rutland towns of Uppingham and Oakham. Home-made snacks and beverages.

 

Please bring any O gauge buildings, water towers, bridges, signals & ancillaries or any other models which you would like to show

 

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT A MODEL RAILWAY EXHIBITION; THE ACCENT IS ON THE TRAINS SO SCENERY ETC IS MINIMAL.
