Exciting line-up planned for Model Railway Exhibition

Helston and Falmouth Model Railway Club have an exciting line-up of layouts planned for their 2015 exhibition, which will be held at Helston’s Old Cattle Market Centre on Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th April
.
Almost all of the twelve layouts in the exhibition will be new to the area. They include in P4; Cheddar , an evocation of the much-loved Somerset and Dorset Railway set in the 1920s and Lower Rose Goods, a remote rural goods branch in deepest Cornwall in the early 1930s. For narrow gauge enthusiasts there will be Corris, a Welsh narrow-gauge railway from the 1930s.

No Cornish model railway show would be complete without at least one Great Western branch line and this show has no less than three, two of them in P4, each of them a refreshingly new ‘take’ on this popular theme.

The Club’s latest 00 project will also be making its exhibition debut. Cirencester General is an imaginary but plausible confluence of cross-country lines set in the Cotswolds in the late 1950s and offering plenty of action with Midland, Western and Southern passenger and freight trains.

Other unusual exhibits include a demonstration of how a signaller's lever frame can be built for a model railway, with signals and turnouts interlocked, just like the real thing.

Historic and modern, 0, 00, P4 and N gauge, painstakingly accurate or just for fun, there will be plenty to see and, perhaps, inspiration to get that old train set down from the attic to see if it still works!

Eight trade stands will be offering tempting bargains, unusual accessories and opportunities to stock up on those essential tools and supplies.

The Old Cattle Market Centre is just off the Porthleven road, with free parking. The modern venue has easy access for wheelchairs and is within walking distance of Helston town centre.

If any members are in Cornwall this weekend do come and say hello. Chris and Simon Challis (Cheddar SDJR) and myself (Lower Rose Goods) will be flying the flag. Its a great little show with good mix of layouts in a smashing location, with an excellent bistro next door.

If anyone's interested in following the trials and tribulations of Lower Rose Goods, my current scenic plank, it can be found here:
