The Basingstoke and North Hampshire Model Railway Society is 40 years young this year and the proverbial “cutting of the cake” is to take place during our annual Open Day on 22nd September 2012. The Open Day offers an opportunity for visitors to enjoy – and possibly operate – club and member’s layouts in an informal atmosphere.... together with the opportunity to see progress on the new 4mm and 7mm layouts. In recognition of this being the 40th Anniversary the Basingstoke Society is extending the Open Day with the addition of a Swap Meet.
As in past years the Open Day is to be held in the Club Hut and the adjacent Scout Hut whilst the Swap Meet is to be held in the Kempshott Village Hall, post code for the Scout Hut / Club Hut is RG22 5HN. All of these buildings are situated in Stratton Park off Pack Lane, Basingstoke - the village hall is about 400 yards from the Club Hut, plenty of free parking at the Club Hut and at the village hall.
The Open Day runs from 10.00am until 4.00pm (Swap Meet finishes at 3.00pm), admission is £1.00 per adult. For further information please see http://www.bnhmrs.hampshire.org.uk/ .
[information added 13th September]
Just over one week until our Open Day on 22nd September. The Swap Meet looks like these eight or nine traders... most are from the Hampshire / Berkshire / London areas:-
Neil Cresswell;
A&B Models;
Ron Lines;
Brian's Trains;
Ian the Book (I joke not... that is how he is known);
Terry Robinson;
Clive Lewis;
Neville's Restorations.
plus a private individual who wishes to sell his collection of die-cast buses.
Most of the traders are primarily 4mm with a mix of RTR and kits. Ian-the-Book has promised publications which are that little bit different. Neville's Restorations, to quote from his hand-out:-
"Corgi Dinky Matchbox
Transform Models
From old to new"
The Club layouts will include the current 4mm Lulworth and SE28 exhibition layouts plus several layouts under construction:-
* N-gauge (which needs a name);
* Round South, 4mm South London circa 1970-80;
* 7mm (which needs a name);
* Nine Yards, a member's 4mm layout;
* Scruft's Junction, a member's 7mm layout.
Maybe we need a "Name that Layout" competition?
Still got to work on "The Cake".... I went to the supermarket to see about the "We print your birthday cake" with a copy of our club logo. Guess the response... "Oh no, we cannot do that without an indemnity against copyright infringement". Speechless!!!!!!!!!!!! The Club logo has been in use for 40 years and none of the current members can recall who drew the logo in the first place. So back to Plan A and a pesky tank engine.
regards, Graham

WMRA Annual Exhibition
By Robin Brasher,
Excellent show. plenty of free parking, over 30 layouts, lots of traders and full catering. I liked the scenery on the illustrated 009 gauge Feorag layout set in an imaginary island west of Cornwall. TT:120 seems to be well received with two small oval layouts on display.

Macclesfield Model Railway Group's Annual Exhibition ( PLEASE NOTE: NEW VENUE!!!! )
By Merfyn Jones,
I was there for a MBF meeting/exhibition last Saturday. Excelent hall with all the facilities you need.
The bus from the station was a very good help for those that want to come by train rather than drive.

Swansea Model Railway Exhibition
By Cymru Rails,
The Swansea Railway Modellers Group does an excellent job every year with this one, and it is well worth attending. It always features a fabulous set of layouts, traders, and societies on display. If you weren’t able to attend this year, check out my video to give you an idea of what to expect at the show and make sure to attend in 2026: Swansea Model Railway Exhibition 2025
