We are pleased that we will be joined by Haddon Bank which has featured on the front cover of both Model Rail and Hornby magazines.
Appearing for only the second time is our own layout Weihnachtsstadt (Christmas Town, left), an HO gauge tramway layout depicting several Christmas Markets surrounded by half-timbered buildings, featuring many moving features and internal lighting.
As this will be our 10th anniversary exhibition we are running a competition that a number of model railway clubs are entering. The entries will be judged by the public on the day of the show.
A free car park is available, and we are easily accessible by public transport. Refreshments, light lunches and homemade cake will be served throughout the day.
We look forward to seeing you!
