Welcome
One of the highlights of the past month was The Gauge O Guild’s annual GuildEx show, held at Stafford Showground over the first weekend of September. The large venue was packed with a wide range of traders, along with numerous practical demonstrations and a diverse range of 7mm scale layouts.
A layout was even being built in front of the public, with the aim of illustrating what can be achieved in ‘O’ gauge in a limited space, using mostly off-the-shelf materials and components. The Gauge O Guild intends to display this layout at various shows in 2024, so it’ll be worth looking out for. I was particularly impressed by the hand-painted backscene – adiscipline that I’ve yet to master, despite my art school education!
