All being well this will be the Kendal MRC 2022 Annual Exhibition, with many of the traders and layouts carried over from the cancelled 2021 show with a number of new layouts and traders to replace those unable to attend. 

As with many events at this time of the year the rules might change at short notice with regards to attendance and rules, so far as we publish this the Uk Government have NOT issued further restrictions. "At this point we are hoping to be able to run the show as we usually do, but we will of course be guided by government policy and Covid safety requirements at the time. We will have wider aisles and hand sanitiser available".

Rushen Valley Railway - O Gauge Preserved Railway. The clubs own modular O gauge layout which usually depicts a preserved railway. It can be exhibited as separate layouts -  Maidenhaiste Station and Broadhurst Works - or joined together, with additional scenic boards, to become the Rushen Valley Railway.

Harkness - by Tony Bucknell. An EM gauge layout based on a private railway in Northumberland 1930s to 1950s. The Belford Budle and Harkness Railway was a private light railway joining the LNER East Coast Mainline at Belford to the small harbour at Harkness on Budle bay. It is based on the North Sunderland Railway which ran between Chathill and Seahouses. We run two periods, 1939 (LNER), 1949 (early British Railways) and will add a third 1959 (BR) in due course, all with representative locos and stock.

Hartburn - EM gauge Northumberland, Hartburn is a small village in Northumberland (pictured above). It was never served directly by rail but lay just north of the old Wansbeck Valley Railway from Morpeth to Redesmouth, with the nearest station being Angerton. However, the original plan put forward in 1855 to link Morpeth and Rothbury proposed a line running via Meldon, Hartburn and Longwitton.

Furka Oberalp - HOm Swiss metre gauge, set somewhere on the Swiss Furka Oberalp Bahn, between Andermatt and Disentis, the layout features working rack and pinion operation allowing the train to climb approximately 3 feet as they wind their way around the layout, with up and down passenger trains passing each other at the small station, which is served by a funicular railway.
