We are all getting excited as our big weekend approaches. Statfold have issued the list of locos they will be running over the weekend. The photo below is copied from Statfold's page. Carol Ann has a lot more wheels than suggested, more 2-6-2 than 0-2-2. Still time to get your advance tickets, if you haven't got them already. https://statfold.com/warleymodelrailwayshow/

Here is a plan of Statfold Country Park. As you can see there is a huge amount of free on site parking. Oak Tree Halt is the best station for both of Statfold's narrow gauge railways. Please note that our show will have layouts in the Arena, the Strawberry Suite and the museum & Roundhouse

Our Warley at Statfold exhibition is this weekend! Its going to be a great weekend. The weather will be a little cooler than it has been recently at around 15 degrees. There may be a few showers on Sunday. That's quite good for October and certainly good weather for an indoor exhibition together with some free train rides in covered coaches. The clubroom will be a hive of activity today with four layouts being packed up ready for transport to Statfold on Friday. There will be around thirty other layouts being made ready for transportation across the country over the next few days. There will also be around thirty trade exhibitors plus many societies also getting ready to attend our show. I'm looking forward to having a chat with our sponsors, Peco, Bachmann, Squires and Trains4U over the weekend.
I won't be joining the work at the club today as I have a very well known model railway photographer coming to my house to photograph my new 009 layout. Hopefully it will appear in a magazine next year. After today's photo shoot it will be packed ready for transport to our exhibition. So an exciting day for me!
If you want to be part of this great weekend (and you should) get yourself an advance ticket from https://statfold.com/warleymodelrailwayshow/ . An advance ticket is cheaper and more convenient than paying at the door, you know it makes sense.

I feel I should mention our show sponsors and say thankyou to them. Their kind help makes putting on an exhibition like this so much easier. Bachmann (https://www.bachmann.co.uk/) and Peco (https://peco-uk.com/) Have been our sponsors for as long as I can remember supporting us through our NEC days. These are two very big names in our hobby so I don't need to tell you what they do. I have however included two photos in this post to show their breadth and importance to the hobby. The first photo shows a Bachmann 009 loco pulling Peco 009 coaches. The bridge is a Wills kit (part of Peco). The fencing is Peco and the greenery is from Woodland Scenics (part of the Bachmann family). The second photo shows a modified Lilliput (part of Bachmann) wagon, Peco 009 track, and Ratio (part of Peco) station fencing. I wouldn't have much of a layout without these two companies!
Squires (https://www.squirestools.com/) is our third sponsor and a company that has been around a long time providing a huge range of essential items for the modeller. Roger, the founder of Squires, has been a supporter of Warley since our very first NEC show and it is great that Squires are now a sponsor. Whilst not in the photos, you can be sure there are some Squires switches and other bits on my layout.
Our newest sponsor is Trains4U (https://www.trains4u.com/) which is a great model shop in Peterborough. It is a family business and is one of the largest model shops in the East of England specialising in model railways. In their 1,800 sq ft showroom they have a wide range of products at competitive prices, certainly well worth visiting either online or in person.
