A couple of extra layouts have been added: Indian Hill Railway (16mm live steam) and my own layout "Llangower Fach" in 009. As I'm no doubt going to have plenty of things to do as Show Organiser, the latter will be a static exhibit only. I also have to announce that the O-Gauge depot micro-layout is no longer going to attend. That makes 21 layouts, assuming nothing changes in the next week! Please see https://bala-lake-railway.co.uk/events/model-show/ for the latest information.

Hi All,

 

There's a small boo-boo in the advert placed in Railway Modeller. It says that the Show closes at 17.00, it's actually 16.00 (as it says in the first post at the top of this thread). 

 

Best Wishes to everyone,

Mat (Show "Organiser")
