On Monday 26th August, myself and fellow club member John Dodds decided to have one of our usual days out, but somewhere a bit different this time.
Normally we would focus our trips on visiting more distant model railway shops such as Going Loco in Outwood (Leeds), Cutty Blacks in York (unfortunately now permanently closed) and C&M in Carlisle, however this time we decided on a day out to Morecambe.
It was a beautiful day and made for a very nice, albeit a bit warm, walk down the sea front with views right over across the bay to Arnside, Grange over Sands, Barrow in Furness and once the haze lifted even Scafell Pike!
We took a walk up to the Eric Morecambe statue in the north of the town before having an hour in one of the arcades before returning home.
We will be out again on Friday visiting Going Loco in the morning before heading off on one of Transpennine Express’ new trains to Scarborough for the afternoon.
