This is our nineteenth show, once again held at the popular venue of Fort Pitt Grammar School in Chatham (ME4 6TJ). We will have a minimum of fifteen model railway layouts, a varied selection of traders, railway and transport related societies, other model exhibits and modelling demonstrations.
We have a reasonably sized free car park. This year we will also have an hourly free bus service operating between the venue, Strood, Rochester and Chatham stations; so why not leave the car at home and take advantage of the bus service? There is level access to all areas of our exhibition, including the dining area and the accessible toilet.
The school caterers will be offering an extensive range of hot and cold food and drinks.
For the third year, we are proud to say we will supporting Guide Dogs, an excellent charity that receives no government funding but relies on donations to train guide dogs for blind and visually impaired people. All the money raised through our raffle goes to Guide Dogs and last year we raised £300 - so let's make that figure even bigger for 2017!
Come along to say hello and we will give you a warm welcome!

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 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
