there is still plenty to be done. Attendees are welcome to bring a loco to run, provided that it is DCC equipped.
Additionally Barry Norman and members of the Bury St Edmunds MRC will be bringing

Perfect Miniatures, Peter Hunt will be with us with his stock of new and secondhand
kits, parts and accessories, tools and books etc. He is promising some bargains including C&L components, Slaters Kits and Iawata airbrushes and compressors together witha good selection of part built wagons, coaches and locos.

The Ilford & West Essex MRC are proud to present our annual West Essex Modelrail at our familiar venue. This will be the club's 61st exhibition.
Being the 4th oldest club in the UK we feel it right to bring a quality show to the public. We will offer over 20 layouts, supported by numerous society and trade stands.
We make it a policy (other than our club layouts) not to keep showing the same exhibits periodically, always trying to bring something new to the area.
We have reduced the cost for the family ticket this year to try and encourage a family day out, unlimited children with 2 adults.
The exhibition is housed in one large and one very large main halls together with a small additional space near the catering area.
Give us a try I am sure you will be very pleasantly surprised.
The venue is situated between Romford & Chadwell Heath on the outer edge of Greater London. There is ample on site parking on hard standing and the event is completely wheelchair user friendly.
Romford Station on TFL Rail is the closest from which to travel if not driving and you can catch an 86 bus (approx. every 10 mins) to right outside the venue on both days.
An good range of hot and cold food and refreshments will be available.

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.
