What railway holidays will you be taking this summer.

I have an absolutely daft idea.
Having been stuck in with awful weather I need to get out so have devised a plan.
As the opportunity arises am going try and visit all the G scale emporia in England and Wales (to start with)
So far have been to P&S Hobbies York, Arcadia in Shaw, Glendale Junction nr Peterborough, Railway Shop Grosmont, Back 2 Bay 6 Telford, Bay Models Carnforth.
Where to next?
Any recommendations?

You could visit Garden Railway Specialists in Princes Risborough and Garden Railway Centres in Cheltenham in one trip. Then maybe take in Chalk Garden Rail and Kent Garden Rail in the London area. Of those I have been to GRS (large shop with a huge range) and Chalk (smaller but still interesting). Then there is The Hobby Shop in Faversham and Gaugemaster near Arundel who both sell G scale along with other scales.

There are also a service of volunteers at the major rail stations, who are glad to help, if contacted in advance. First point of call would be the linked that Dtsteam has kindly posted.

Evening all looking at the map I see that we would have to change 2/3 times so I think we will go fly/drive to Munch as we can't hire a disabled car in Swiz only residence can have one Les
 
Going to Romania (Borsa) to have a few days mucking around on the Logging Railway from Viseu de Sus. Went last year, it was fantastic. Managed to hire a transit van (on train wheels) last time, which took us up to the top of the line where the border is with Ukraine.

That sounds like fun. It´s not that far from here to Rumania, but I salute you for finding a "train on wheels" to use.
