[James Moorhouse]

There is an error in the Exhibition Diary for Scalefour News 184.

The Tyneside Model Railway Exhibition has been incorrectly listed as Railex NE which has already taken place. Whilst the dates and list of P4 layouts in attendance are correct, the venue, opening times and internet link are not. Here are the correct details:

9/10 November
Tyneside Model Railway Exhibition:
Gateshead Stadium,
Neilson Rd,
Gateshead.
NE10 0EF
10.00 to 6.00 Saturday, 10.00 to 5.00 Sunday

Details of the Tyneside Model Railway Exhibition can also be found on the Society Calendar at http://www.scalefour.org/calender/calender

We apologize to the organizers of both Railex NE and the Tyneside Model Railway Exhibition. Please pass this information onto anyone else you think may be affected by this error.

This show is definitely 'on the up' and has got much better in recent years so, if you rarely visit the north it might be worth a trip.

Apart from the show itself there are other attractions and, not being as congested as the south, you can actually get to them in a reasonable time. There's Beamish and Tanfield Railway nearby. Don't forget Durham City with its Cathedral and castle, and the view of the bridges across the Tyne is also worth seeing.
