HMRC EXHIBITING GRINDLEY BROOK AT WIGAN EXHIBITION 6-7 OCTOBER

Wigan Railway Modellers host their 51st Annual exhibition over the weekend of 6th and 7th October which is sure to be popular around the north west. 

The Venue for the Wigan Exhibition is:
(opposite the DW Stadium)
Robin Park Leisure Centre
Loire Drive
Wigan
WN5 0UL

They will be running a FREE VINTAGE BUS SERVICE on both days of the exhibition. From the bus stop outside the Wigan North Western Station (WCML) Please feel free to have a ride on the vintage bus if you wish. The service departs from Wigan North Western Railway Station to Robin Park from 09.35. The last bus will run 15 minutes before the exhibition closing times on both days.

 This is a chance to see the work of the Hillingdon Railway Modellers who will be in attendance displaying their O Gauge layout Grindley Brook. This has been built as an add on exhibition standard layout to their existing impressive test track. This layout was shown off at Warely last year and already has a few bookings for 2019. This was the last club that my late father was involved with, and while that might have been a few years ago now, I am still a big supporter of these wonderful people and their outstanding work. Go and catch this exhibition if you can it does look like a great few days out in the North West.
