A reminder that tomorrow’s MTT Open Day is CANCELLED. We know a lot of people were looking forward to it and we share your disappointment.

Regrettably @TheMTTrust have had to announce that the annual open day, scheduled to be held on 14th July, has been cancelled. class502.org.uk/news-blog/2024…

We’ve secured the funds to move 507001, but what exactly is involved in moving rail vehicles by road? Back in 2012 our friends @Class502 had to move their historic LMS unit from Tebay to Burscough, and the event was captured on video. youtu.be/c5NECY0uLP4

We share the premises of the Southport Model Railway Society, in the old crossing keeper’s cottage on Portland Street, Southport. The Liverpool Echo recently went behind the scenes and their report is below. 👇

The cottage is one of the last of its kind on the railway line The ECHO was invited for a look inside as part of our Behind the Doors series. Lovely photos from @andyteebaypics liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool…



Anyone want to help out our friends at @class_507? 👇
