Sadly Most Train Shows Are Cancelled
Unfortunately this dreadful COVID 19 virus has forced the cancellation of model train shows worldwide, and it has forced most of us (depending which country you are) to stay indoors.
Don’t let that stop us…
Unlike so many others, we model railroading enthusiasts, have a wonderful pastime to keep us busy and entertained during these testing times. With that in mind; I’m sure other readers would love to hear what you have been up to, and the progress you have made on your layout. Hopefully this will help inspire others in the model railroading community, and help keep us all positive (and sane) at this time.
Just use the ASK A QUESTION link below to send a summary of what project you have been working on (it doesn’t need to be a question). Even better if you can supply a supporting photo that can be shared on the blog.
If you have a photo, we can advise you how to send it to us for uploading on the blog. The first step is to send in a brief summary of your project, and at the same time if you have a photo just let us know. We will then reply to you by email. I’m sure others would like to see what you are up to.
This photo was sent by a reader who visited the Southwold Model Railway Exhibition organised by Waveney Valley Model Railway Club a couple of years ago. Feel free to send in a photo you snapped at a train show in recent years. Let us know the details using the ASK A QUESTION link, and we will be in touch telling you how to email us your photo.

With us being in lockdown I get my fix by viewing youtube or going through old photos like this one. This is from the Dunedin (NZ) model train show 2014. Note the 2 people and dog by the stream.

Thank goodness for the internet. I have been upgrading my layout, testing to see where more power feeders are needed, cleaning track repowering and rebuilding some locomotives, as well as making a few youtube videos. My latest project is rebuilding a South African Railways class 25 steam locomotive with condensing tender, after it got badly damaged in a move. I also changed the motor to be DCC friendly as it has an open frame motor which has only one of the brushes insulated and the rest of the motor is the electrical pick up for the other brush
