The MRC's Mini Exhibition at Keen House near King's Cross features a modern image theme centred around the club's Ingatestone OO layout and our second hand shop and bookstall.  Accompanied children free. Entry for MRC members is free upon presentation of a current membership card. 

Please note - access to most rooms is by stairs. If you have any concerns about accessibility, please contact us in advance. Parking is free on the local side streets, but we are very well positioned for public transport, including a cycle hire station opposite us, minutes from King's Cross and St Pancras stations and many bus routes pass close by.

List of Layouts Attending:
Ingatestone (OO) --This OO Gauge layout measures 20ft x 10ft in its scenic run, and is a representation of the station and countryside around Ingatestone in Essex, on the former Great Eastern main line to Norwich. Ingatestone is on a 25kV, two track mainline, with both commuter traffic and Intercity expresses passing through, as well as many freight operators in action. This is a time of franchisee change, so rolling stock will be in many colours, and the season is autumnal (leaves on the line). Nevertheless, the area has a timeless appeal, with its signal box, level crossing and fine Grade II Listed buildings, Ingatestone station set in a quintessential Essex landscape.

LACEY DALE N GAUGE LAYOUT

Lacey Dale (N Gauge ABOVE) -- This is The Model Railway Club's new N gauge layout, inspired by the viaduct and surroundings of Monsal Dale in the Peak District of Derbyshire with the Midland main line to Manchester. The period depicted is from mid 1950s to mid 1960s. Although this part of the railway was double track, to provide greater interest we have added long lie by sidings on both 'up' and 'down' lines, as provided a few miles away at Darley Dale. These enable faster trains to overtake the slower freights, and sometimes, local passenger trains.
