Macclesfield Model Railway ExhibitionThe annual Macclesfield Model Railway Exhibition will be held over the weekend of 5th and 6th April 2025 at:
Tytherington High School,
Manchester Road,
Macclesfield,
Cheshire.
SK10 2EE
There will be the usual High standard of modelling on display, as anyone who has visited the show before will attest.
Each and every year, we go to extraordinary lengths to try and ensure that the visiting content is not only of an extremely high standard, but also has not been seen in the North West of England previously.
In line with that mantra, we have 4 of the gathering layouts that will be making their Exhibition debuts at our show - one of which is a 42ft long, 4mm finescale LNW inspired layout from Peter Thomas.
We will also have the fantastic restaurant on site yet again, offering hot and cold meals, plus snacks and drinks.
There will also be the FREE vintage double decker bus providing nostalgic travel from Macclesfield railway station and pick up points around the town, to the venue.
Further details will be entered on here when available, but this show is not one to be missed!

Londons Transport in miniature Sunday 6th Sept N1 6DA
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.
themodelrailwayclub.org/events/londons-transport-in-miniature/
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.
