Last weekend, Rails was delighted to attend the Stafford Model Show  for the first time ever, billed as England's biggest Independent modelling show!  

There were some truly amazing layouts on show and we also had the chance to catch-up with Dapol & Peco - who both had some new updates to share with us. You can see some of the layouts and our manufacturer interviews in our latest video linked below!

One of the main highlights of the show are the first decorated samples of Dapol's all-new OO Gauge Class 323 EMUs which you can see photos of below too. Finally, we've also just received some  new products into stock from Hornby this morning!

One of the highlights of the weekend was the unexpected arrival of Dapol's OO Gauge Class 323 EMU decorated samples! The full range was showcased at the show and we have to say these are shaping up very nicely indeed. Dapol have yet to assess these with their design team so after that we're sure we'll have some more content to share on these for you. Check out our images or watch the video above for more information.

Peco's Andy Hudson had created this marvellous little Wallace and Gromit themed diorama, featuring some notable scenes from the films as well as a realistic outdoor garden scene! This little layout is the perfect demonstration of what you can do in a small space and it beautifully showcases Peco's all-new OO9 Narrow Gauge W&G wagon packs which are currently arriving into stock.

Also at the show, Peco showcased their all-new range of laser-cut scenic kits to us in TT:120 Scale which includes a diverse range of retaining walls, bridges and tunnel pieces which all pair together nicely to help you construct convincing scenes!
