RMweb Premium Mike Bellamy Posted March 20, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 20, 2018 (edited) . Mickleover Model Railway Group is proud to announce it will be holding its 38th Annual Derby model railway exhibition on Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th May at The Roundhouse, Derby, bringing together a wide selection of high quality layouts and exhibits from across the country, they will cover British, European and American outline in a variety of scales and gauges. . The show is once again being held in the former North Midland Railway locomotive workshops, pictured above. Built in 1839, it is currently Grade II* listed and is the oldest surviving railway roundhouse in the world. Now part of Derby College, the building has been fully restored and is a modern events venue. This means the exhibition is held in a true railway location! Situated adjacent to Derby railway station, The Roundhouse is easily accessible by public transport or car, full directions and maps are on the club’s newly redesigned website. This will be the fourth exhibition the Group has held at The Roundhouse and it is now very much the home of the Derby show. After the success of last year’s event, it is very pleasing to be able to anounce that this year’s exhibition will continue in its enlarged and expanded format using a third area at the venue. This means the whole of the available facility is now being used for the Derby Model Railway Exhibition and will be filled with (model) railways in a railway venue! Derby Model Railway Exhibition 2018 The Roundhouse, Roundhouse Road, Pride Park, Derby, DE24 8JE. Parking onsite and nearby for visitors. Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th May. Open 10.00am to 5.00pm Saturday, 10.00am to 4.30pm Sunday Admission: Adults: £8, Under 14s: Free (when accompanied by a paying adult) Hot and cold refreshments will be available throughout the day in the venue, including a bar serving a selection of bottled and Draught Real Ales. Layout and Trader list available and will be posted in a day or two . Edited March 20, 2018 by Mike Bellamy 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Mike Bellamy Posted March 20, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 20, 2018 Do we have a list of exhibits/traders/layouts? Yes and I'll load those in a day or two - then this topic gets to the top of the pile again so more people see it - otherwise you get to see everything in one day and the topic drops down the list until it's forgotten about. .

RMweb Premium Dava Posted March 24, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 24, 2018 This is a great show to walk round in a unique, historic venue. The layout selection is always good but look forward to seeing it soon. After two recent wintry E Mids shows in the past month I'm NOT going to ask 'what if it snows?'!

61666 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Looking forward to bringing Arigna Town to Derby. Last time I was in the Roundhouse, I was in short trousers, visiting on a Derby Works open day, back in the '60s! Not many Irish layouts around that are proper broad gauge [5'3] and even fewer in 7mm scale, so hopefully bringing something a bit different. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Dava Posted May 4, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 4, 2018 Arigna Town was at the Newark show and is in my view brilliantly evocative of standard gauge railways in rural Ireland in the 1950s. Its only next weekend so looking forward to it. With the Goods Gala on the GCR as well its going to be a busy weekend! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

reggie Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Just a heads up for anyone going to Derby this weekend - The M1 is closed both ways at 23a to 24, from Friday to 3pm Sunday, so best to find an alternative route of possible, if that's the way you were going (like me!)

RMweb Premium Mike Bellamy Posted May 9, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted May 9, 2018 Just a heads up for anyone going to Derby this weekend - The M1 is closed both ways at 23a to 24, from Friday to 3pm Sunday, so best to find an alternative route of possible, if that's the way you were going (like me!) This map shows the area of the closure - it's only about 2 miles. There will be a diversion in place using the A453 which is a dual carriage way and runs parallel with the M1 https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.8333664,-1.3049889,14z?hl=en This article from the local paper has more details - the road is closed to enable the installation of a 50m by 22m bridge weighing 1150 tonnes as part of a bypass project for Kegworth costing £10m https://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/news/derby-news/m1-closed-junction-23-24-1532123 If travelling from the south, please allow extra time or find an alternative route - for example from the Midlands use the A38 rather than M42. Obviously this is outside of our control and we hope that it will not put anyone off visiting our show Of course travelling by train is the other option as The Roundhouse is next to the station !! .

I think it'll be a little more complex than 'it's only about 2 miles'. Tailbacks from the junction of another two miles or so etc. I was going to go, on paper it's one of the best shows for finescale this month including expoEM and RAILEX, but I think not, perhaps next year.

Tailbacks from the junction of another two miles or so etc. Hopefully it'll be better managed than last week when it took me 45 minutes to get from the A453 by Ratcliffe Power Station to the A42... at eleven 'o clock at night.
