This will be the 53rd exhibition to be held in Mickleover and will follow the usual successful format with all layouts belonging to the Club or to its members.
The Clubrooms will be open featuring three layouts (Duffield OO, Hillandale OO and Warner Street O) with the others in the Community Centre supported by traders and our popular second hand stall. The tearooms will be open for light refreshments.
This year will feature the final showing (in the East Midlands) of our well known and much loved layout, Farkham which has over the years featured in all of the major modelling magazines. the layout will be put up for sale after its final show at the NEC in November.
Our large OO layout Duffield (as seen recently in BRM) will be featuring 'modern' motive power without a steamer in sight - at least you'll find plenty of those on the other layouts!
Remember that we will soon be closing the order book for our Bachmann Class 37 Limited Edition Loco as we now have over 400 allocated to pre-orders with delivery due in the New Year. Details in this topic http://www.rmweb.co....-at-derby-show/

Robertsbridge Model Railway Show 24-25 May 2025
By clogger,
Good little show. Bit biased though as I’m exhibiting at the show and have done so for a couple of years now.

The National Festival of Railway Modelling @ NEC
By 7013,
Considering this is the first show by BRM I thought they did a reall good job.
Quibbles: I know you have to rent the floorspace by the square metere, but it got a bit crowded at times between stalls/layouts.
Positives: Lots of good trade support, some superb layouts, and very helpful friendly staff.
Warley was always going to be a hard act to follow, and the organisers did well.
I can see this growing in the future

Tyneside Model Railway Exhibition
By jacko,
Drove down from Lanark early on Saturday morning (6 hour round trip!) to arrive shortly after 10am. The first surprise was seeing my cousin showing his O gauge layout in the foyer (shown as east Glasson port authority on the programme but it wasn't that). Nice to have a chat with him as we've not met for a couple of years. Moving on to the main halls, there seemed to be plenty of space for viewing, helped no doubt by my being there so early. I'd driven down especially to see Grantham, Pelaw and Fencehouses having seen them in the mags and I wasn't disappointed so spent at least an hour swapping between the three. All three layouts exceeded expectations but it was also great to see Richmond in the flesh, it having only just appeared in print last month. I saw Alston in Glasgow in February and there's been no drop in quality. However, my favourite (and I'm probably biased as I'm modelling the s&c) was Kirtley Bridge - what a superb layout, the quality of modelling and the atmosphere was outstanding. I think I spent around 3 hours at the show and was absolutely wrecked by the time I got home but it was well worth it. I'll be watching out for next year's dates to make sure they're kept clear.
