All the club layouts will be there and also some of our members' own layouts in 2mm, N, 00, 009 and 0 covering a number of eras, so about 10 in total (7 of which have been exhibited at our and/or other model railway shows) and a couple of local traders too, more than you get at some exhibitions but with free entry!

Wasn’t sure if this was already advertised elsewhere on the forum but thought worth a mention. Link below to the website and a bit of the exhibtion blurb too.

The MRC together with their friends at the London Underground Railway Society are organising a one day mini-exhibition featuring London Underground modelling.

The event will have a selection of model railway layouts, displays, demonstrations and manufacturers present.

Hopefully the day should be an ideal chance to see current strands of Underground modelling and engage with those exhibiting as well as seeing a range of models from RTR, kit built and 3D printed examples across a range of scales and eras. There will definitely be prototypes from 1890s to current Piccadilly 2024 Stock on display! But equally important it should be a chance for both societies to attract new members as well as a rare chance for like minded modellers to meet up and socialise. We trust members will patronise the event and assist to bring it to the attention of any friends that maybe interested.

It will be held at Keen House, London N1 9DA between hours of 11.00 and 16.00.

Tickets on the door to the public will be £12.00 for adults , accompanied 5-16s £6. For members of both LURS and the MRC entry will be £10.00. MRC members will need to show their membership card and LURS members should bring an UN delivery envelope to gain the discounted ticket price on the door.

The MRC snack bar and licensed bar will be open throughout the day selling teas, coffees, soft drinks, snacks, rolls and with a full alcoholic bar offering too.

Leigh MRS celebrate their 50th anniversary Sept 12/13th 2026 with their annual exhibition featuring layouts, boats, Scalextric, demos, wargaming and more!
