We had a great weekend at the York Model Railway Show. Thanks to those who came and shopped from us, and also to those who just chatted! I think we've just about recovered and caught up with emails, so now thoughts turn to the next event. 

We're going to try out a NEW SHOW FOR 2024! 

Brand-new for 2024, Model World LIVE is brought to you by the organisers of the Great Electric Train Show to bring together railway and scale modellers at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham. The event will take place on April 27/28 2024 in Hall 12 and advance tickets are on sale now.

This new event combines modelling disciplines with the best model railways, the best scale modelling displays from IPMS groups and Special Interest Groups, demonstrations, presentations, manufacturer support and traders offering the best in both worlds.

We'll be having our biggest Train Trax stand yet - expect more trains and track than ever before.

April Announcements from KATO

Announced in Japan this morning by KATO Precision Railroad Models and available to pre-order this afternoon.

There's 381 series “Super Kuroshio", Yokohama High Speed Railways Y500 8-Car Set , D51 Hokkaido type with coal wagons, some more road vehicles and a re-run of the ever popular Pocket Line Steam Loco set.

From Kato USA, Inc. there's the 'Milwaukee Road Olympian Hiawatha' in Post 1955 livery (UP) with passenger cars and FP7 locos to match.

In addition there is a new Christmas livery Pocket Line Steam Loco set - hopefully it will arrive by 25th December! 

Arrivals

Over the last week we've also had some Large incoming deliveries. Occasionally our stock runs short, but it's looking healthy right now. Why not check back on the site?

Best wishes,

PS. The  DC/Analogue version of the 'Paddington' Class 800 has arrived.  Whilst similar to the smooth running five car GWR Class 800 previously released, these trains are really special. They include an eye-catching bookstyle-box and precision printed 'Paddington' livery details.
