GAUGE O GUILD

Liverpool and West Lancs. 'O' Gauge Group (LAWLOGG)

After a successful open day last November and an outing for one of our layouts, the display stands and the test track at the GOG Wigan show in December, members are currently preparing the Ballan Road layout for display at the forthcoming Rainhill Model Railway Show (1st/2nd March). Plans are just starting to be discussed for two new layouts, one of which may provide opportunities for modular construction with multiple gauges, allowing a variety of scenarios for exhibition in a year or two (or three!) Our next open day at LAWLOGG will be on Saturday 17th May, at which our four existing layouts will be in operation and there might even be just the first hint of something to see for one of the new layouts by then!

Bo'ness Gauge O Group

Formed in 1993, known as BoGoG, our public exhibition operating season at the Scottish Rly Preservation site @ Bo'ness, West Lothian commences from easter through to October on Saturdays and Sundays. We also have a facebook page which usually has some comical comments and is managed by our younger members. We have spent the best part of 2024 and into 2025 refurbishing the layout especially in upgrading the scenics along with improving the general interior of both carriages, renewal of the domestic electrics, decorating, new furnishing and rolling stock renewals. Always a resource for O Gauge interested modellers and open to organised visits from other Groups especially in operating the layout at weekends.
