‘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'

SMJ Exhibition at Towcester Museum

I visited the Towcester museum on Sunday and just wanted to say how good I thought the exhibition was, the content was excellent and I particularly liked the model of Towcester Station.

Well Done

Hello

The exhibition lasts until the end of February but the layout Towcester will be coming out a couple of weeks earlier as it has to be prepared to go back on the model railway exhibition circuit at the beginning of March. It has been a great honour to be included in the exhibition and have been grateful for the interest shown.

Cheers

George (co-owner of Towcester layout)
