Formed around 2010 from a group of like-minded narrow gauge railway enthusiasts, the group was aptly named due to the meeting location at Twyning. The Village Hall kindly agreed to the construction of a small cupboard where the test track boards and controllers could be stored.
The first exhibition was held at the Corse and Stanton Village Hall in October 2011 and repeated in the following two years. The fourth show was help in October 2015, again at the Corse and Stanton Village Hall.
Whilst these shows were great fun, the venue was too small to accommodate all of the exhibitors and traders who wanted to come along. Hence, it was decided to hold a much larger show in Tewkesbury in 2017. Although that show was a great success, the venue was too fragmented and we decided to return to the original (albeit much smaller) venue.
Photo galleries for the 2012, 2015, 2017 and 2019 shows are available on the Gallery page.
Our last show was held on the 19th October 2019 at Corse & Staunton Village Hall and at the moment we have not made a decision on when to hold the next one.
