The show is bigger in 2017 as we have secured a large additional exhibition space within the school. Layouts range in size from the compact 6ft to the highly impressive 50ft long. The impressive range of layouts is supported by trade stands and railway associations/societies. Rail Ex Taunton has something for the whole family. Brio hands on layout for children and age related trails/quizzes to help keep all the family occupied.

Organising body: N Gauge Society Yorkshire Area Group
The Yorkshire Area Group of the N Gauge Society will be holding its annual open weekend on the 21st and 22nd of October in York.
We will have two large layouts set up. Come and train spot on our scenic DC test track Guys Cutting where you'll see trains showing the wide range of eras and locations of interest to our members. Alternatively, indulge in some shunting on our extensive FreeMo DCC layout. Visitors are welcome to bring models to run on either layout.
In addition to the two group layouts there will also be a number of layouts being exhibited by group members whilst others will be showing their latest modelling projects including a Motorail terminal and projects involving 3D printing and laser cut plastic.
We have a wide range of interests ranging from RTR to kit and scratch building; We have modellers interested in British, Continental, American, Japanese and even Malaysian prototypes dating from the steam era to today's railways.
If you want to learn more about DCC, 3D printing, electrics, signalling, locomotive maintenance, wood work, painting, scenic work or just about anything else model railway related we can usually provide some help and advice.

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.
