Just to say that I am very proud to announce that I have been invited to take my Chinese HO layout BEIJIAO to Abingdon & District MRC's 50th anniversary show - I consider it a great honour.

BEIJIAO seeks to engage with all exhibition visitors.

1) If you want to learn about the railways of China, we are happy to chat with you - one of our team visited China 15 times to photograph the last of big steam action and he is happy to share his experiences

2) If you just want to see movement - we try to provide constant action.

In this photo the anti-clockwise diesel hauled freight is held at a signal whilst the double-headed tanker train leaves the yard and snakes across two crossovers to head off on the clockwise mainline.
