Another welcome supporter for Medway Queen

21/2/2018

 
Medway Queen gets great support from the local community, both private and business. We are delighted to welcome the A Class Driving School  to that happy band of active supporters.

We owe thanks to our volunteer, Mitch Peeke, who also works for the driving school for going the extra mile and setting this up for us. Here's to a mutually beneficial arrangement!

Slight Delay - Medway Queen beside the seaside

21/2/2018

 
Picture
Our 2018 on-board display "Medway Queen Beside the Seaside" was due to be installed on Monday of this week to be available to visitors from Saturday 24th February. Regrettably, a problem has occurred at short notice, which we were unable to work around, so the display will now be installed next month to be ready for Saturday 24th March. This same problem has resulted in Reading Group's new railway wagons also being delayed and they too will be available from the Visitor Centre from 24th March. They are available now by mail order as planned.

The ship and Visitor Centre are not otherwise affected and will be open to visitors as usual on Saturdays. The delay is due solely to an individual health issue which prevented transportation to Gillingham Pier this week of both the display materials and the railway wagons.

MQPS and Reading Support Group apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

Engineers' wagons available for 00 gauge

6/2/2018

 
Picture
For 00 Gauge modellers there is a new 7-plank wagon available in 2 colours (above), commissioned from Dapol and delivered ahead of schedule in February. The price has been held at the same level as the previous 00 vehicles at £12-75 per wagon. UK P&P is £3-30 per order. As can be seen in the photograph, this issue of wagons honours the small band of dedicated volunteers who give up their spare time to work on our ship. 

Reading Support Group will have the wagons for sale at the London Festival of Model Railways in Alexandra Palace, London on 24/25th March and at other events. They can be bought at the Visitor Centre (from 24th March) or you can order by post from Richard Halton at 21 Lakeside, Earley, Reading. RG6 7PG. Cheques payable to “R. Halton” please. Email enquiries and Paypal payments/orders to [email protected].

​We also have a very small number of the “Gillingham Pier” wagons remaining in both green and bauxite.
