It's has been a while since I last updated you regarding our 60th anniversary show. 

 

I can now confirm that our show will take place at our usual venue of the Michael Herbert Hall, Wilton, South Street. SP2 0JS. 

 

We are also sorry to announce that Dewerstone has had to withdraw from exhibiting at our show this year due to unforseen circumstances.

 

We will announce a replacement as soon as we can.

Our 60th Anniversary Exhibition is now less than 2 weeks away. 

 

The final list of confirmed exhibits and traders is now confirmed above. 

 

We have experienced a number of difficulties this year with layouts dropping out of the show and then sourcing suitably sized layouts to replace them that are actually available. 

 

One of these is Kingsmouth, courtesy of Alex Atkins. 

 

Kingsmouth is a fictional BR Southern Region branch line terminus set somewhere in rural Dorset, and is set roughly between the mid 1950s and the end of southern steam in June 1967. 

 

The layout aims to capture the feel of a steam era Southern branch, and features a wide range of typical southern region traction ranging from old southern stalwarts such as M7s, T9s and Drummond 700s, to Bulleids and Standards, and finally a sprinkling of typical Southern Region diesel traction.

 

This layout is new on to the exhibition circuit having only mafe its debut at the Wimborne show back in March.

Hi,

 

Yes, that is correct. 

 

I am just in the process of doing a post on that now.

 

Thanks, 

 

Josh.

We are also very pleased to announce that for the first time, the Bachmann Collectors Club stand will also be at our show this year. 

 

This will be one of the first opportunities that the public will get to see some of the Bachmann and Graham Farish summer announcements in the flesh since their announcements last week!

 

More details can be found below:

We are thrilled to have Bachmann joining us this year.
