So recently I was invited down to the Bluebell Railway for their annual Model Railway Weekend! In between doing meetups with you guys (thank you so much to everyone who said hello by the way) I was also able to check out all the incredible layouts on display!

And of course there were trains running on The Bluebell Railway throughout the weekend too, with an intensive 2 train service running the full length of the line while A1 Terrier "Fenchurch" ran a shuttle service between Sheffield Park and Horsted Keynes.

At one point I was even allowed up onto the footplate Bulleid Pacific "Sir Archibald Sinclair" for a cab ride along the line and back which was an incredible experience! Thank you so much to the loco crew David, Jamie and Ross for being so welcoming and putting up with me filming them constantly. They even let me have a go at firing the loco at one point... don't worry the professionals soon took over again!

Also in attendance were Newhaven & District Model Railway Club who had a couple of layouts on display in an LSWR carriage at Sheffield Park. They were telling me all about their unique approach to running a model railway club and honestly it was pretty inspiring. I talk more about it in the video but if you fancy checking them out there's a link below..

All in all it was another fantastic model railway weekend for 2024 at The Bluebell Railway and I'm already excited for next year's exhibition! Again thanks to everyone at Bluebell for making me so welcome throughout the weekend, especially Jim Taylor who invited me along and was running the show.
