Whilst I do like a good diesel/electric layout I do hope that there is still a good representation of steam era layouts at Wigan. I've never heard of the Northwest Festival of Diesel and Electric layouts so I assume this is something new to bring in new punters

I shall be running a fair number of steam locos on Meopham East Junction as well as a first generation diesel loco and a Kent Coast electric loco on Saturday; along with green EMU's of course.

Sunday will see a change to blue liveried EMU's and a class 47 on a Merrymaker special. Then it will be onto classes 66 & 92 with a steam special thrown in.

Come and have a natter.

The link to the layout is below.

Looking forward to this show. I and part of my operating team will be there for the weekend with Alderford that by the way is in the April edition of RM.

The other half of my team will be with Jeremy's layout Great Endon so we are drafting in a few extra hands.

It will be 1955 North Eastern or 1977 Blue Diesel when you disappear (back in an hour!).

Have you noticed for a fellow who always in a brightly coloured checked shirt, he does quickly merge into the background rather well doesn't he! :no:

All part of the cunning plan!

If you travel to our website you can find details of the Advance Tickets (including the 4 for 3 ticket) which are now available. The major advantage of these tickets is that you dodge the queue and gain early entry to the exhibition. This will be particularly advantageous this year as our Club Sales Stand is extremely well stocked. I have it on good authority that there are over 100 second-hand locos, some quite rare, on offer.
