The ELR will be holding a model railway show in the Bury Transport Museum on Saturday and Sunday 4th and 5th April 2020. The show is open from 10am - 4pm each day. Admission is free but donations are more than welcome. Confirmed layouts so far North Ballachulish (EM), Hebble Vale Goods (EM), Haslingden (N) with more to be added and trade*. Come along and have a look at the models, have a ride on the railway (Blue Timetable in operation) and take some refreshment at the famous Trackside pub.

 

* We are looking for a good RTR trader stocking all the red, blue and other boxes. Contact me if in the NW and free that weekend.

It's been a bit of a tall order trying to get the show together in 2 months and some fine details have yet to be nailed down but its coming together.
