Our Next event is The GWSR Mixed Traffic Gala the weekend of 10th 11th October 2026 please come to see us .

We were delighted to be at the GWSR Model Railway Show 26th 27th Spetember 2026 This was their first event of this type and a very successful event for the GWSR all credit to the organisers and the exhibitors, some great layouts and we hope to be back next year

We were delighted to be at the Bristol Model Railway Show this year 2026 and we hope to see you there in 2027

We are very grateful to Warners for the invitation

 In November 2025 we took our information stand and photographic exhibition to the National Festival of Railway Modelling at the NEC – thanks to the Warner Group for kindly providing the stand space – there were around 12,000 visitors to the show over the two days and we gave out a lot of leaflets about the Trust and have hopefully recruited at least two new volunteers.

We were fortunate to be visted by Dawn “Model Railway ‘ Quest seen here on our stand with one of our bears to whom she had taken a fancy too.

She is a blogger and modeller and promotes not only model railwaying in general but encourages women to become involved in model railwaying as well,. It was a pleasure to welcome her to our stand .Check her You Tube sessions if you are into modelling you can watch some of Dawn’s video’s on You Tube here is a link to her weekly offerin

We were able to display a pre-production model from Dapol of the 00 gauge 2874 – looks and feels really good – the model will only be available direct from Dapol or ourselves – we should have them in stock for the 2027 May Gala at The GWSR if not for Bristol !

Also on sale was our latest 00 gauge wagon.  As many of you may know, earlier this year we lost Len Young, one of our major supporters and a long-time Director of Dinmore Manor Locomotive Ltd.  Len was a brilliant “fixer” and always seemed to know someone who could help with many of our tasks.  One of Len’s neighbours was a smallholder and every year in early summer Len would come along with bunches of freshly picked asparagus for those of us who liked the delicacy – so we felt an appropriate tribute to Len would be to dedicate one of our limited-edition wagons to him. Both wagons clean and dirty available through our web site or form us at Galas and shows .
