Derby's Silk Mill Museum will close for refurbishment next year. Due to this, the large, 0 gauge model railway exhibited in the museum will have to be removed and put into store, while the work is carried out.

So, this is a last chance for the public to see this iconic model railway running in its current form.

The Museum will be open to the public from 1pm to 5pm, with a number of activities taking place and the friendly cafe open as usual. As well as the Silk Mill's model railway, there will also be a number of small layouts exhibited by members of the Mickleover Model Railway Group.

Come along and enjoy the ride to the end of the line (for now)!

(We'll also be looking for volunteers to help in removing the model, continuing work on it in store and then reinstating it - better than ever - when the refurbishment is complete.)
