Milton Keynes MRS Exhibition 8th June 2024

[1E BoY]

Milton Keynes Model Railway Society is holding its annual exhibition on Saturday 8th June at The Ridgeway Centre, Wolverton Mill between 1000 and 1630.

 

Visitors will be able to see 20+ operating layouts ranging from both within the club and from outside clubs and individuals. These will be seen alongside a variety of trade stands, demonstrations, preservation societies and local railway groups displays. The Bachmann Collectors Club will also be attending and will display some of the models under development.

 

Club members have been working on new exhibits for the show including the club’s O gauge layout Frimingham, which will be making its exhibition debut. The layout represents a heritage railway with a mainline connection and has taken some five years to construct.

 

Club Chairman Tim Byrne said “we have once again brought together a selection of layouts which feature all the popular scales. Together with good trade support we look forward to welcoming visitors to an event showcasing our great hobby”.

 

Admission to the exhibition costs £6 for adults, children aged 5 to 16 £2, whilst children under 5 are free. Refreshments will be available with free parking in the area.

 

The Ridgeway Centre is located on Featherstone Road, Wolverton Mill, Milton Keynes MK12 5TH. There is free parking and refreshments will be available.

 

Further details of the club can be found at www.mkmrs.org.uk

Looking forward to this show, not only because I am a member of the Milton Keynes Model Railway society, but also as it will be the first time we show Frimingham , an end to end 0 scale layout, to the public.

We have turntable style fiddle yards on both ends, so we can quickly change from one train to another or just turn one around...
