    Neepsend Model Railway Society's debut exhibition will be a brand-new show for the 2018 calendar, and we will be hosting a selection of superb model railways built by some of the best modellers from the North of England. In addition, there will be support from well-known model rail traders and demonstrators, plus a café serving a variety of hot/cold food, drinks and snacks. The exhibition will be held over the weekend of 28th/29th April at the Park Centre, Samson Street, Sheffield, S2 5QT. The exhibition will be open 10-5 on the Saturday, and 10-4.30 on the Sunday. Entry fees will be £5 for adults, £2 for children, and a family ticket (2 adults + 2 children) is available for £12. Each adult ticket comes with a free cup of tea/coffee, redeemable at the in-house café. The venue is within walking distance from Sheffield Railway Station (albeit up a long flight of stairs!), and as such a free shuttle minibus will be provided from outside the station. The venue is also on the 120 bus route, which has the most frequent service in Sheffield (up to every 5 minutes). Hyde Park tram stop is also a 15 minute walk away from the venue, and is served by trams from Meadowhall Interchange. On-street parking is available in the local area for those visitors with their own transport. Further details regarding exhibitors will be provided in the near future when they become available. Please also see www.neepsendmrs.weebly.com for further information.

    Does anyone know how long the plain BR Blue livery lasted on the Southern Region 4-VEP units, and which were the last units to wear it before gaining the standard Blue & Grey livery? I read somewhere recently that it was becoming quite rare by 1971, which seems a little early, considering that there were many EPB units carrying that livery into the 1980s. Thanks.

    Spent two hours at Meadowhall waiting for the RHTT this morning in the cold - needless to say it didn't turn up...

    Hmmm, another layout idea, but will it be compact enough to store in my room? And will I be able to build it before university restarts?

    Loud fireworks should be banned - dog's going crackers for 2nd night in a row...

    Trying to drown out the noise of fireworks by playing Saxon/ Scorpions out a full blast off computer - keeps dog a bit calmer anyway...
