Full Display on Stand 1 at Model Rail Scotland. Special thanks to Scotrail HST project team for making this project possible for Model Rail Scotland event this weekend.
  8. TMC (The Model Centre) Plan to make an announcement from their stand at Model Rail Scotland – it’s currently a well-kept secret, but we are informed it will be new tooling for the model and various liveries – keep an eye on social media for further updates
  9. Revised / current Bus Timetable. Please continue to check here and social media for any alterations over the Friday and weekend BusTT.pdf
  10. Hold on to your Model Rail Scotland tickets! Your Model Rail Scotland ticket to a great day out is not the only thing that's on offer at our event next week. Each day of the event around 13:00 a free prize draw will be made using your ticket stubs that we collect as you enter the event. The type of ticket (ie Adult / Adult / Child / Family) and the ticket number will be announced over the PA - if its your ticket you have 1 hour to collect your special prize from stand 1. Should no one claim the prize a further ticket will be drawn until we get a winner. All purchased tickets (advance or door day tickets) are valid for the draw, but please listen carefully to which type of ticket and the number that has been drawn. Good Luck and have a fabulous day at the event.

  12. Rail Express are running on the theme of military railway which also has a nice link to Helensburgh's Trenches layout. In addition we are working hard to secure some military re-enactment actors along with a model of the Compiègne Wagon (the historical wagon in which the First and Second Armistice at Compiègne were signed) November this year will mark 100 years since the signing of the first Armistice. Some fascinating history with of course a great railway connection.
  13. Advance Tickets A problem has occurred with our online ordering system from our main Model Rail Scotland website. However, tickets can be purchased online through Rainbow Railways https://www.rainbowrailways.co.uk/complete-models-amrss-editions-c-27_42.html Be quick though as advance ticket sales close soon

  16. Don't quite know how you would quantify layouts from further afield, but here's some detail. Below is Model Rail Scotland Visiting layouts Of the Visiting Layouts 14 are on there first outing to Scotland of which 2 are on a debut outing - this is not bad going.... On the AMRSS layouts 1/3 are there first showing at Model Rail Scotland. If you attend every show of course you are going to see layouts that you have seen before, but of course the same layout can be tweaked to run say a different era that still provides great entertainment for visitors.
