One of my favourite railway pics taken at Carlisle in probably 1982/83. 1979 built Class 370 (APT) on the left, 1966 built Class 86 in the middle and a wee 1959 built Class 26 on the right .

One of our member's layouts, Southwark Bridge, was at the Folkestone show last weekend - did you see it? This N gauge layout, presented by Graham Bridge, imagines an alternative history of London railways and is set in the 1960s & 70s. More: southwarkbridge.wixsite.com/ngauge

It fits! Happily, one of club member Stuart's Merchant Navy fits where it needs to so it can run around trains on our new layout :) Find out more about joining us and level up your railway modelling: tonbridgemrc.com

We're heading into exhibition season now, with the exhibition at Folkestone coming up on 5 & 6 October. Some of our club members will be helping out stewarding at the event, do say hello if you see them. Find out more at folkestone-mrc.com/next%20show%20…

As well as creating detailed scenery and finishing buildings for our exhibition layouts, there's also a lot of 'troubleshooting' that goes on... Here's one of the team behind our narrow gauge layout giving the locomotives some TLC a few weeks ago. #whatsonintonbridge
