Accurascale Making Tracks with Pete Waterman And Announce a 'Takeover'!

[Warbonnet]

Making Tracks is back! Today sees the return of the Making Tracks summer exhibition at Chester Cathedral with Pete Waterman and the Railnuts team.

We're delighted to be sponsoring this wonderful event for the first time as the team look to raise much needed funds for the magnificent Cathedral which provides the venue for this wonderful layout.

This year we’re treated to the biggest undertaking yet as the team recreates Milton Keynes station on the West Coast Mainline through a massive 64ft ‘OO’ gauge layout.

The layout fiddle yard will be filled with all the latest stock from Accurascale which will be put through its paces running 7 hours per day for 6 weeks straight! The best part is visitors can take to the controls and drive our full rakes around the layout themselves.

Further to this, we will be hosting an ‘Accurascale Takeover’ on the 4th & 5th of August where we’ll be showcasing early samples of our anticipated Class 50, Class 31, Class 89 and perhaps a new announcement... 

The Accurascale team will also be on hand to discuss all things Accurascale, so please come along and meet some of our gang! 

Don’t miss your chance to join Pete Waterman OBE and the Railnuts team for the third instalment of Making Tracks at Chester Cathedral from 26th July to 2nd September.

Making Tracks 3 will run from 10am to 5pm Mondays to Saturdays, Tickets are priced at £3 per person with free entry for children under 5. All proceeds go to Chester Cathedral.

I saw an official announcement including the phrase "making tracks" and immediately assumed it would be the full range of track, points, crossovers, etc, all in 21mm...

 

I'm going for a lie down now.

Hhmmm, very laudable, but at £80 day return from Reading .......

Mind you, you do get 400 miles of interesting travels - I was even offered the trip via NEWPORT!
