There are only three days until Railex 2021 Virtual Model Railway Exhibition. In the background, compilation of the website, is progressing well and will be published on 29th May. The website will contain links to details and videos of 21 layouts in 2mm, 4mm, HO, HOn3, EM, P4 and 7mm scales, some of which can not be seen on the exhibition circuit. Live sessions will commence at 11am and cover such topics as layouts, track, rolling stock and road vehicle construction and something for new and returning modellers. Members of R&DMRC have also produced a range of videos, slide shows and articles demonstrating some techniques and step by step guides that will hopefully be useful in your modelling challenges. With extensive links to modelling examples, traders, model railway societies and local railway attractions, Virtual Railex 2021 should not be missed by the experienced modeller and those new to the hobby. A programme of events can now be downloaded from www.railex.org.uk. We look forward to seeing you on the day.

The original batch came from The Daylight Company, others (cheaper copies) came from Craftlight.co.uk, however the version we use with fluorescent tubes are no longer available. There was an LED version available from Hobbycraft but we have not tested its light output and it does not seem to be on the website now. In theory the light output is lower but it could be more directional. I hope this is of help.

The latest post on the Facebook page includes some photographs of the layouts that will be featured in our forthcoming Virtual Railex. Unfortunately, RMWeb only allows a maximum of 10Mb of uploaded images. Here are some to whet your appetite. Photos courtesy of: Ian Morgan, Tony Wright and Pete King.

I note that the Class 306 etched sides are no longer on the Mousa website. Does this mean that they are no longer produced or is this just a temporary suspension?

Concrete platform lighting
gazzaday replied to Hotspurworks's topic in Modelling Questions, Help and Tips
I've been trying to find a solution to creating a standard concrete type BR station lamp for some time. I have now managed to create one by dissecting and re-wiring a Woodland Scenics model. The new lamp shade was made from brass wire, the trim of a plastic takeaway carton with Fox transfer lettering applied. -

The thought of all those handles and individual glazing brings me out in sweats!

The unit has now be fully detailed and weathered and the pantograph fitted to the Driver Trailer. This project has been two years in the making (stop and start) but I am happy with the end result, which is a very unique model. I would like to thank Replica Railways and the many contributors to this topic for their help along the way. I am now considering adding lighting and sound and maybe who knows a class 306?

No problem with downloading the photo. Whilst this will not be an exhibition layout, I will be bringing this section of the layout along to the Risborough & District Model Railway club Open Day; hopefully in October. Gary -

I have now found an old photograph taken at Liverpool Street taken in 1972 which shows 7 smoking and 3 non smoking compartments in a 3-3-4 formation.
