Live Steam Model Railway Show On Track For Steaming Good Weekend Print
Friday, 26 October 2007 18:44
The Live Steam Model Railway Show, which comes of age in itsÙ 21st year, chugs into the Kew Bridge Steam Museum on Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th November. The highlight of the museumÙs calendar, the show will entertain families and railway enthusiasts alike with scores of model railway trains puffing away under their own steam.
 
Visitors can also enjoy a free ride around the museum grounds on the steam railway, with resident steam locomotive Cloister, and on the Ickenham and District Society of Model Engineers miniature steam railway.  Experts will also be on hand to discuss tricks of the trade with those both new and experienced in railway steam modelling, to help indulge their hobby or interest further.
 
Other steam railway layouts at the museum will include: 
  • Kew Bridge, by The London Area Group of the 16MM Association
  • Brian CatonÙs amazing live steam 009 and 7mm railway with tiny real steam locomotives just a few inches long.
  • Wags Wharf, a 16mm layout complete with a working model steam beam engine
  • TrumpersÙ Halt, presented by the West London G-Scale Society
  • The Rhydypeneryn Light Railway from Wales, presented by Tony and Gaynor Bird.

  • There will be a variety of stalls supplying the modeler with all the necessary materials for your very own garden railway, including a wide range of models, kits, drawings, photographs, specialist books and magazines and other steam related merchandise. As well as the layouts, the show will have many of the country's leading railway preservation societies represented.
