Welcome to our April update. Firstly we’d like to wish all of you a very Happy Easter, even if the UK weather is not helping many of us get outside! Hopefully, by the time of the National Show at the end of the month conditions will be warmer and drier and more conducive to running steam trains in the garden! We look forward to seeing many of you are the show, renewing old friendships and making some new ones. A return to Stoneleigh promises some changes and improvements. In other news, production of Rheidol is going well with an anticipated delivery date in May and ‘The Clearing House’ continues to throw up surprises.
