Model Railway Show and Workshop in PorthmadogNow in its fourth year, this event was the brainchild of the late Paul Towers. Previously held at Minffordd station on the Ffestiniog, this year we relocate to Y Ganolfan Community Centre by the harbour in Porthmadog. We are continuing the show in the manner he envisaged - as a venue where people can come and chat to real modellers who want to share their skills and experiences and show that anyone can build a model railway if they so desire. There will be Memorial Service for Paul at St Cyngar's Church in Borth-y-Gest, just outside Porthmadog on Friday 16th at 2pm with refreshments afterwards.
With the increased space available, this year we have fifteen layouts in scales ranging from 2mm up to 16mm. Although predominately narrow gauge (well we are hosting the show in the epicentre of narrow gauge railways...) there are standard gauge layouts in 2mm and 4mm scale too. We have invited seven modellers to share their skills in most fields of modelling. The new venue is situated right by the harbour in Porthmadog, just the other side of Britannia Bridge from the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Harbour Station. There will be Garratts passing the front door during the show and it is only a hundred yard walk to be on the platform of the FfWHR. Refreshments will be available at the show, or for a full bar and restaurant, Spooners on the station platform will be open as usual. Car parking is free in the railway's Llyn Bach car park, a pleasant five minute walk from the venue. Blue Badge Holder parking on site and also (free)at the Harbour Station.

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.
