In view of the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic and the restrictions on social interaction that are likely to remain in place for the next few months, it will not be possible to hold expoEM Spring in its usual format for the second year running. Instead, the EMGS are going online to host a 'Virtual expoEM'. New video footage has been prepared in readiness for the ‘Virtual expo’ and feature video presentations of several 'layouts which never leave home', and a number which appear only very occasionally on the exhibition circuit, in more normal times. Of these, all are built to EM gauge, except one:
Drighlington and Adwalton (P4) - Steve Hall
Elmham Market - Nigel Burbidge
Hornsey Broadway - Kier Hardy
Leeds City North - John Elliott
Liverpool Lime Street - John Holden
Retford - Sandra Orpen
Stockport Tiviot Dale - Richard Challis
South Pelaw - The South Pelaw Group
From the Vaults
Ashburton - Chris Lammacraft
Black Country Blues – The Staffordshire Finescale Group
Canada Street - Peter Johnson
Carlisle - David Johnson
expoEM Spring 2017 at Bracknell
Hemyock - Chris Lammacraft
Metropolitan Junction
Narrow Road – Ken Hill & Tony Gee
Swaynton
The Virtual expoEM Lecture Theatre
A range of other interactive events will take place throughout the day as a series of live ‘Webinar’ style lectures, giving participants the opportunity to join in the discussions. These include:
10.30 am Martin Nield has agreed to present an updated lecture on 'Authentic Model Railway Operation', the subject of his book published by Wild Swan Publications.
12.00 noon John Brighton’s presentation will feature his layout ‘Millhouses’ and will look at its development and evolution over the last thirty years.
2.30 pm John Chivers’ new layout ‘Elmore’ will be featured, detailing its recent construction.
4.00 pm Chris Foren’s specialist subject features in his presentation, entitled ‘First Generation DMUs - Aspects of Operation’.
Joining details will be found on the Society website shortly prior the event.

In addition to all this it is also planned to have links to several the traders that would normally be in attendance to expoEM, plus some others too.
Last but not least, EMGS Stores (via the link on the Virtual expoEM page of the website) will be operating as normal during the event, with the added benefit that FREE POSTAGE to UK will apply to all purchases made during the time the event is live (i.e. 10.30am to 5.30pm). As is customary at expoEMs, non-members, as visitors to the show, will receive day membership of the Society and so will be able to purchase items from the EMGS stores.
The event will be of interest to all modellers and is free to access – simply go to the EMGS website (www.emgs.org) and follow the links provided. While the virtual event will be first uploaded on Saturday 22nd May, the majority of the content will be available thereafter, so you can view it at your own convenience. The full programme of events (*all provisional at this stage) once finalised, will also be accessible via the EMGS website prior to the day of the event.
