4. TRADE SHOWS
Guildex O Gauge Guild Stafford Show: Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 September 2025
A big thank you to everyone who came to our stand at Guildex. We were very busy on both days, so much so, that I did not have any time to visit any other traders’ stands or look at the layouts. This was a bit disappointing, but you all come first! Thank you very much to all those who purchased locomotives or collected their locomotives from our stand.
Mark Show: The Village Hall, Vole Road, Mark, Somerset TA9 4NY
Saturday 11 October 2025
Sadly, this is the last show that we expect to attend in 2025 as the Swindon Show was cancelled and we are away and unable to attend the Wigan show. Mark is a Scale 7 show but well worth attending if you would like to see high quality locomotives running on a track. IF YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT COMING PLEASE CHECK THE M4/M5 AND M32 FOR CLOSURES THAT WEEKEND.
