Andrew Knights has kindly supplied some pictures from this years show, including entries in Cardboard Train competition. Click here to see the pictures.

Many thanks to visitors and members who came to the show. A special "Thank You" goes out to non-members who helped on the day.

A friend of mine, Dirk Shrapnel, has created a website that shows in beautiful detail how his garden railway was created.

An overgrown rockery has been  converted into a wonderful model of an Irish narrow gauge railway in the 1930s. Although the scale (1:20.3) is quite large, the railway occupies a relatively small space (five feet by twenty feet).

This site is a treasure trove of interesting information and lovely pictures, so please take time to visit it.

Once again, Giles Barnable has very kindly supplied some railway related picturesto be included in our Gallery, this time from France. In the near future another series of pictures of Turkish railways will also be added. Thanks Giles!

Please let us know if you have any pictures of real or model railways that you would like to see on this website.

A great day was had by all at this years WRG Personal Layout Show in Arundel.

WRG Personal Layout Show - Report and pictures

WRG member David Thomas has an article on the fascinating Bastille terminus in Paris in Continental Modeller in February and March.

The terminus was entirely steam operated till it closed in 1969. David says "Some of the plans and timetables and the operating "graphiques" are inevitably a bit small and they didn't have room for all the diagrams so if anyone wants larger copies of my original scans do let me know.  BTW Bastille's final throat design is incredible with simulataneous arrival and departure from any two platforms out of the five and all in just seven points lengths (Minories requires five for three platforms with fewer simulataneous workings)".

Giles Barnabe has sent in some pictures taken on the recent Chiltern Rambler Excursion (a.k.a. WRG's Brill Day Out. Our team of explorers visited the Chinnor & Princes Risborough Railway, the Buckinghampshire Railway Centre at Quainton, and Bekonscot Model Village. Click here to see his pictures.

Ken Scott has kindly provided access to some video that he took at the Arundel show. You can find his page here. Thanks Ken!
