‘The Stratford Upon Avon & Midland Junction Railway’ (or S.M.J.) was a small independent railway company which ran a line across the empty, untouched centre of England. It visited the counties of Northamptonshire, Warwickshire, Oxfordshire and a little of Buckinghamshire, only existing as the SMJ from 1909 to 1923. In 1923 the S.M.J.became a minor arm of the London Midland and Scottish (L.M.S.), then in 1948 'British Railways'

I must say that so far it looks as though there is going to be a reasonable turnout for the show 12th/13th June. I have managed to book a couple of model railway layouts from the local (Northampton) Model Railway Club to keep the display company. I don't know yet what they are going to be, but they should add to the interest.

Excellent work David - the Warley lot with their layout said it would be too large and too complicated.
