As part of the nationwide Railway 200 celebrations, Lightbox Gallery & Museum in Woking will host a special model railway display from 22–26 October, 10.30am–4.00pm daily, in the Ambassadors Room.
Presented in partnership with the Guildford O Gauge Group (GOGG), this event offers a rare chance to see dynamic model railways in action. Visitors can experience trains from across Britain’s and the world’s railway history – from the nostalgia of steam to the excitement of modern high-speed travel – all recreated in fascinating miniature.
Built to 7mm scale – where 7mm represents 1 foot on the real railway – these O Gauge models are larger and more detailed than the train sets many people remember from childhood, making the display both impressive and nostalgic. The Guildford O Gauge Group was formed in the mid-1960s to promote modelling in 7mm scale and today is a vibrant, well-supported organisation with members from across the south of England. Meeting weekly at Normandy Village Hall, the club is proud to be part of the Railway 200 celebrations at Lightbox Gallery & Museum, Woking.
With thanks to Paul Bridger, John Scott Morgan and the operating team from Guildford O Gauge Group; funding from the Community Rail Network, and support from Paula Aldridge, Community Rail Manager, South Western Railway; Lightbox volunteers Richard and Rosemary Christophers, and Neil Burnett.
Admission is included with a Day Pass.
