Mid Wales Model Railway Exhibition

[corneliuslundie]

Saturday 27th October

Welshpool Town Hall, Broad Street, Welshpool SY21 7JQ

10.30 am to 4.30 pm

This year we are making a big effort to make the exhibition attractive to modellers, with several specially invited high quality layouts in a number of scales as well as two by our own club members and others by local modellers..

In addition, there will be the usual trade stands, two local engineering societies, plus a few things to entertain the children.

Always a nice little show that looks particularly attractive this year with some top quality layouts.

Nice bright morning for a trip over to Welshpool this morning.  Looking forward to seeing Peter Kazer's Boot for the first time.

 

£4 admission looks a bargain.

Excellent show.

I've been to far bigger shows that charged far more to get in but had nothing like the quality of this one.

A big "thank you" to all who came along to support the Newtown Model Railway Society show in Welshpool yesterday, and not least to all the exhibitors, traders and helpers who gave up their time to make our show a success. 

I hope everyone had a good time and enjoyed see the layouts in attendance...indeed, we received many positive comments about the quality of the layouts on display..
