There's a growing number of women getting interested in model railways - but women in the hobby are still in the minority. I wanted to find out what's stopping women getting more involved in railway modelling and spoke to some amazing women in both the hobby and industry, including the executive director of the most famous model railroad museum in the US, and the woman behind Bachmann's fabulous LNER Thompson Teaks.

A huge thank you to:

Michelle Kempema: Executive Director of the Colorado Model Railroad Museum
Lucy Dormont, Social media and marketing manager for the National Model Railroading Association.
Louise Oliver, Graphic designer at Bachmann Europe
Railway modellers par excellence: Maggie Gravett, Gilly North, Carol Flavin and Rachel Harris
And to Zara and Kath - an inspiration to young women railway modellers everywhere.

And a big hello to the lovely ladies in my Facebook group.
