Welcome to the April bulletin from The Model Railway Clearing House.  We apologise for not getting this out at the beginning of the month but wanted to gather up some sizeable collections before we did so.  This edition is going to be Gauge 1 heavy in light of the forthcoming G1MRA Spring event at Statfold Barn on Saturday 18th April.  We look forward to seeing many of you there and will, as is the new norm, be bringing the glory bin full of items for sale on a cash only basis so bring your wallets!  The show also affords us the opportunity to deliver Gauge 1 items purchased beforehand so don’t hold back until the show or the item you might like may well have gone.  Here are some of the highlights of the stock newly added to the website.
