<p>An update for you on the exhibition</p>
<p>Rob has been in contact with me saying they are nearly ready with the exhibition at the museum. He was unable to give me a date but he did hint it would be launching soon and they'd like to run it for about 8 months. He also added that he'd still love it if anyone had any small artefacts they might want to loan the museum for the display. He did say he'd love to get his hands on a uniform, the have a very cold, naked mannequin looking for some…</p>

He also added that he'd still love it if anyone had any small artefacts they might want to loan the museum for the display. He did say he'd love to get his hands on a uniform, the have a very cold, naked mannequin looking for some clothing! (preferably with an SMJ/LMS slant!!)</p>
<p>Thanks to all who have given already and may I say, we really need to support the exhibition and go and visit it once its open. Watch this space for a start date</p>
<p>Thanks again</p>

<p>FURTHER MORE URGENT APPEAL TO ALL. I have also taken artifacts for display in the exhibition but, they desperately require more and especially assistance in preparing descriptive comment. Unfortunately I am fully committed with other rail preservation events for at least a week or so. To find out how you may assist please contact Emily at Towcester Museum 01327 352662. Many of you will have something to offer so please if you possibly can just ring or call in and ask. Many thanks, Dave…</p>

Hi Paul, the museum has contacted me and stated that things had "slid".<br />
They are now looking at mid August until the end of the year for the SMJ exhibits to be in place.<br />
And yes Paul the layout appeared in Rail Express and BRM Magazines.
