Philip1812 Posted September 17, 2022 Author Share Posted September 17, 2022 Advance bookings for THE Christmas Model Railway Show - Manchester 2022! opened last week and already there has been a steady stream of orders through our online booking agent . Visit www.mmrs.co.uk/exhibition for full details of the exhibition and how to get tickets. Why book in advance? Because you can enter from 09:45 each day, with minimal queueing, rather than wait in a queue until 10:30 for the ticket desk to open and begin selling walk-up tickets. What does it cost? £8.50 for an adult, with children FREE. That's the same price that we charged in 2019! What is there to see? 25 excellent layouts in a wide range of scales, gauges and periods. Like this one for instance: South Pelaw, 11.6m of EM excellence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip1812 Posted October 26, 2022 Author Share Posted October 26, 2022 A couple more of the layouts attending THE Christmas Model Railway Show - Manchester 2022! Ryburn in P4, a Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway model set just before WW1. Originally it was one of two layouts making their debut with us, but they accepted a late booking from Wakefield, so this is only its second outing. Bron Hebog is the magnificent OO9 layout of the present day Welsh Highland Railway and is coming all the way from Ayrshire to be with us. December 10th & 11th in our new, spacious venue: The Sugden Centre, M1 7HB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip1812 Posted November 14, 2022 Author Share Posted November 14, 2022 Less than a month now until THE Christmas Model Railway Show - Manchester 2022! Here's a peak at a very appropriate layout that will be on show - all the way from Exeter. Further details at www.mmrs.co.uk/exhibition 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip1812 Posted November 18, 2022 Author Share Posted November 18, 2022 Three weeks today and we will have welcomed the 24 layouts from all over the country who will be appearing at THE Christmas Model Railway Show - Manchester 2022! Doors will open at 10:30 on Saturday 10th December for walk-up ticket sales (£10 adult), but at 09:45 for those who have bought the cheaper advanced tickets online, just £8.50 with no booking fee. We have kept our prices the same as in 2019, and, as always, accompanied children are admitted FREE. Here is another layout with a snowy setting to get you in the mood for a Christmas treat, The Great White River Navigation Extraction and Steam Packet Company an On30 layout set on the Pacific NW coast of America. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip1812 Posted November 24, 2022 Author Share Posted November 24, 2022 It's just two weeks - almost to the hour - until advance ticket sales end for THE Christmas Model Railway Show - Manchester 2022! Two weeks, in other words, to get tickets which are cheaper than those bought on the day, admit you 3/4 hour before visitors who buy at the door, and minimise the time spent queueing to get in! Visit http://www.mmrs.co.uk/exhibition for full details of all the layouts, traders and other attractions. Our new, bigger venue is a short walk from Oxford Road train station, and very well served by buses and trams. If you decide to drive into central Manchester, there are two multi-storey car parks nearby. Some of the layouts on display are shown above, here's another one - completed during lockdown so you won't have seen unless you went to the Uckfield show last month. Drws y Nant in 2FS built by Nigel Ashton. Take a close look at that offset scissor crossing! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done and all being well, I am getting a lift into Manchester and will be able to visit. Cheers, John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philip1812 Posted December 6, 2022 Author Share Posted December 6, 2022 We must be doing something right. As of noon today, our online advance ticket sales were up by 28% on 2019 -very encouraging! If you want to join them, you've got until 9pm on Thursday, otherwise it's queue to pay at the door. And here's another of the big layouts that will be there: Hills of the North - the Spirit of Shap. 35 ft of scenic excellence up a 1 in 75 gradient, complete with banker engines and 51ft of dry stone walling! 7 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very much looking forward to being part of the show 😃 Edited December 6, 2022 by LNER4479 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Barry Ten Posted December 7, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 7, 2022 Looking forward to being there with Sherton Abbas and @wenlock. Please come and say hello if you spot us. Some cracking layouts that we'll enjoy seeing as well; particularly keen to see Shap and Pelaw! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sawyermodels Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 As a member of Manchester Model Railway Society, I am looking forward to coming along as trade support for this year's exhibition (I am also a member of Leigh Model Railway Society and their exhibition manager). Phil has done an excellent job of organising this year's exhibition after a few years delay. I have seen the work he has put into this year's exhibition at the club room and it looks to be a cracker of an exhibition. See you all this weekend! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johndon Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 South Pelaw is down and ready to be loaded in to the van tomorrow, looking forward to the weekend, just hope we can avoid the bus lanes and one ways roads on Friday 😀 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
