Abingdon and District Model Railway Club are pleased to confirm that we are planning to hold our Abrail exhibition back in Abingdon and Witney college (OX14 1GG) on Saturday 19th March 2022. Doors will be open 10 am – 4:30 pm.  Tickets are £10 on the door, or £9 purchased in advance. Accompanied children go free.

 

As you will appreciate, CoVID has made things more complicated to organise, and we’re still waiting to confirm some details. 

 

We have a good selection of layouts this year, ranging from the large and impressive Old Elms Road to the ever popular interactive ‘Sodor Island’. We are also honoured this year to have a debut layout, in the form of Margam Moor, an extensive but intricate model of a south Wales iron and steel works. 

 

4mm layouts

  • Old Elms Road Large – BR(W) layout set in the late 50s/early 60s
  • Margam Moor (debut!) – Large model of the Port Talbot combined iron and steelworks

  • Sodor Island – A Thomas themed layout where kids (and adults) can drive the trains!
