Pete Waterman’s Making Tracks returns this summer!​

Don’t miss your last chance to join Pete Waterman OBE and his Railnuts team for the third and final instalment of Making Tracks at the Cathedral from 26 July to 2 September.

This year’s 64 foot long track is modelled after Milton Keynes railway station with some very special never seen before features and trains.

Like previous years, visitors will be able to drive the trains using dedicated control tablets.

‘I am really excited to bring this new even better layout to Chester again this year – after being set the challenge of building a station, I can honestly say it’s going to be something very special and we will be offering the chance to adults and children alike to drive the trains.’ – Pete Waterman.

Making Tracks 3 will run from 10am to 5pm Mondays through Saturdays.

Tickets £3 per person with free entry for children 5 and under.

It's looking rather fantastic. I'm looking forward to seeing it at GETS in Milton Keynes where it'll be over 100ft long!

Might need to book a day off work to visit it back in my old stomping grounds then. The videos I've seen look absolutely remarkable.

Absolutely excellent layout and a joy to see. Mr Waterman and his team came across as totally professional and helpful. Excellent for combining my railway interest with my love of church architecture as well!

Will it be heading south at any point?

Yes - as briefly mentioned in post #2 above it is due to be shown at the Great Electric Train Show. This is at the Marshall Arena, Milton Keynes on October 14th and 15th 2023. As well as Making Tracks 3 it will be added to by parts of MT1 and 2 to end up at some 100ft long!
