We’re having a final test of Golden Mile before we head west to Abingdon Abrail next weekend - always a good show, and well worth a visit for layouts and trade alike. Do say hi if you come along #modelrailwayexhibition#Abingdon@ModelRailClub
We’re just about set up and ready for the @NewburyMRC exhibition tomorrow - looks like some good layouts and bargains on the club second hand stall. @ModelRailClub@EMGauge
Not long until our next exhibition - a return to @farehammrc with the expanded layout. Always a good show, and the layout and trade list looks good this year. Come and say hi….
“Minories” is at expoEM Summer this weekend just outside Wakefield. It was a busy day yesterday, but if you’re near Wakefield and would like to be inspired by some great railway modelling do visit today. Open from 10-4 full details at https://t.co/2VRJKprcDj @EMGauge#expoEM
Looking forward to this - our first time to this show and second time to Wakefield - do come along and say hi, whilst enjoying some of the finest 4mm scale modelling and trade #Wakefield#Yorkshire#expoEM
A set of @accurascale 21T wagons have been through the workbench recently. Brake gear is the bane of my life in conversions - always in the way - but happily here we’re are provided with a set that can be swapped out along with the wheels, for a fairly simple project @EMGauge
@lawrenceofthe I joined in the 80s, and have learnt much of what I know by getting involved in a variety of club layouts and projects with the support and encourage of members. My son has ‘graduated’ through Young MRC and is now one of around 20 Junior members.
This year’s EMGS Annual General Meeting and Members Day at Ashover Parish Hall on 1st February was, to paraphrase Wallace and Gromit, a Grand Day Out!
You can read all about it and watch a short video on the EMGS Website:

Time to crack on with some flat bottom rail track building for the next layout. Staring this one at home, but will be working on it at the Doncaster exhibition in just 4 weeks - you’ll find my demo stand on the first floor next to MERG. #emgauge#emgauge70s@EMGauge@BRMmagazine
This should make fault finding easier and deal with an occasional ‘lock up’ in the old relays rescued from a previous layout that could happen when the switches on the panel were changed too fast. The racket is the Cobalt motors - Tortoises don’t quite fit under the board 2/2
From this….. to this. Some holiday rewiring on Minories, replacing the below baseboard relays that switch the power to the rails and interlock the points on the double junction to avoid conflicts with new ones that are above the boards. 1/2
