    With around 30 clubs member clubs of AMRSS this is the only show in the UK where such a large group of member groups pull together to produce a Model Railway show. In addition to our member clubs we also invite guest layouts from other clubs and private individuals across the UK.
    With such a large group pulling together it creates a great friendly atmosphere for which Model Rail Scotland has become renowned across the UK.
    This year will see many new layouts from both the member clubs and also from guest layouts.
    A vast array of trade suppliers will be in attendance – we aim to covering all modellers needs, form those just looking to start out in the hobby with box sets, track wiring etc to the finest detail modeller with scratch build materials all under one roof

      *** PLEASE NOTE***  - WE ARE MOVING ONE MONTH INTO APRIL!!!!!!
       
      Macclesfield Model Railway Group's 2024 Exhibition will be held over the weekend of:
       
      Saturday 20th APRIL and Sunday 21st APRIL 2024
       
      Further details of Exhibitors and Traders will appear here in due course, but for now, please make a note that we are moving the Exhibition one month to 20th and 21st APRIL 2024
       
      This is primarily down to Easter being early in 2024, but also to continue the long tradition of etiquette amongst Exhibition Managers and therefore trying not to hold our show on the same weekend as anyone else, we're moving from our usual end of March date, one calendar month to April.
       
      Cheers for now

      By John P.,
         Quite easy and fairly straightforward to enter an event.
    • Hillingdon Railway Modellers - Test Track Open Day
      By Solderpete,
         A friendly get-together and good chance to run your models.
      The refreshments are pretty good too. 
    • Lincoln district model railway exhibition
      By Dagworth,
         A well presented local club show with around a dozen layouts in 2, 4 and 7mm scales. The O gauge layout was actually one of the smallest layouts present.
       
      Layouts were a mix of entertaining fiction through to well researched models of real places and places that had previously had railways but modelled as though those lines had survived the Beeching cull. A good mix of steam era and more modern diesel content too. One exhibit showed the true definition of a tail chaser, the train missing it's own tail by about 2 millimetres.
      I was there helping with a layout presented as a work in progress that got quite a lot on interest showing how a layout was built.
       
      A good social and meal on the Saturday evening in a local pub added to a great all-round weekend.
       
      The show was VERY busy both days!
       
      My thanks to the organising club and to @Clive Mortimore for letting me be his wingman for the weekend

    • Lincoln district model railway exhibition
      By Clive Mortimore,
         Well done to Sean who organised the show.
    • Lincoln district model railway exhibition
      By Grampus,
         A really enjoyable local show. I've just come back from spending a couple of hours there this afternoon. Friendly people and some great modelling. My personal favourite layout was 'Horncastle', which ticked a lot of (mostly blue and yellow with Railfreight grey and red) boxes for me. Well worth popping along tomorrow if you have a few minutes to spare. Thanks to all concerned for a nice afternoon out. 
       
      All the best,
       
      Paul
