Main Lines: 22nd November 2025

 

Welcome to this week's Main Lines.

 

As this email is sent, our show team are working hard at The National Festival of Railway Modelling in the NEC, well, we hope they are working hard! Demonstrating a number of products, including the new Gaugemaster Infinity Digital Systems and the Gaugemaster Scenics Gras Master Grass Applicator, as well as our Train-Tech team demonstrating their New Scenic Sound module, our team are happy to answer any questions you have. If you are at the show, make sure you pop over to stand 35 and say hello!

 

That said, although they are away, life doesn't stop here at GM HQ, and we still have an exciting issue for you this week, including more information on our latest Infinity Announcements, OO Scale Figures and the Train-Tech Scenic Sound Modules.
