Firstly I must apologise for such a long gap since my last post. As with many people, life, house moves, house extensions and children have got in the way a bit. So much so, I have to admit that I struggled a touch remembering how to log into my own blog!!

I have not been totally idle in the meantime and I do have things to show on the blog but first is an announcement of Portchullin’s next outing. It has been a long time since it has been out but there was a bit of a global pandemic that was largely to blame for this! This invite is a little different in that it is not a general model railway show but instead is to support a launch event for the Sutton Locomotive Work’s impending Sulzer class 25. This will take place in Crewe over the three days of Friday 29th Sept to Sunday 1st Oct, 2023.

In addition to seeing Portchullin, there will be two other excellent layouts there. The epic Mostyn from the Barrowmore Club and Underhill Yard by Dave Roome. The SLW team will be there too, along with the first production samples of thier new class 25 model.

The event is for the customers of Sutton’s Locomotive Works and other selected guests that might be interest in good medelling and sulzer locomotives more generally. In this regard, if you are reading this blog you do count as a selected guest so are welcome to attend. However, please note that you need to book a visit and to ensure that the event is more relaxed than the average show.

Details of how to book can be found on the note of the show on the Scalefour Forum.
