The East Anglian Model Railway Exhibition, on March 10th and 11th, will again bring together many of the very best model railway layouts from around the country.
In total there are 32 layouts for you to see in all of the popular gauges including some continental and, many have not been seen in this part of the country before.
 
The Summit (Draper's Sidings) by Yeovil Model Railway Group is pictured. With a footprint of 47 by 27 feet, you will not be able to miss this layout at our exhibition. The Summit is 7mm / O gauge on a grand scale and was voted Railway Modeller's Railway of the Year in 2016. The layout is loosely based on the summit of the Settle and Carlisle Railway at Ais Gill. The track layout, with the lay-by sidings, is close to what once existed here. The viaduct is based on the one at Ais Gill but the fell side has been brought closer to the railway for more immediate effect.
 
In contrast to The Summit, The Sidings by Nick Gurney in 4mm / OO gauge provides a modern scene in a small space, measuring just over 6 feet in length and 1 foot wide with a scenic section of only four feet. Nick has tried to incorporate several features from the modern railway including a GSM-R phone mast with cabin and trackside relay cabinets some modelled with the doors open and the associated cable trunking. The layout is inspired by York parcel sidings, where predominantly DRS locos are stabled although other operators’ locos can be seen from time to time.
 
Creating a local scene, Fenchurch St Peter by George Woodcock, John Norton and Richard Coleman, is also and it represents a small remote station situated in the East Anglian Fens in the area between March, Wisbech and Spalding.
 
For younger visitors there is a children’s layout, Shabbey Road, so that they can drive a train and we have rides inside on a 71/4 inch gauge electric train and outside on a 4 inch scale traction engine.
We have 28 traders who will be selling all the much needed items required for making the hobby come to life, and this year, we also have four demonstrators showing you various modelling techniques.
 
If you need a ride from Huntingdon Railway station to or from the Britten Arena at Wood Green Animal Charity Centre, Godmanchester, PE29 2NH then please use the free vintage bus service. Wood Green Animal Charity Centre offers ample free car parking, excellent food and other facilities to enjoy while you are there.
