The exhibition will feature 13 layouts from across Scotland in five different scales/gauges, referred to as N, H0, 00, P4 and O. Trade Support will be provided by Bernie Campbell, Douglas Blades, Franzi’s Scenic Dioramas, KMS Railtech, Lathalmond Models and Rainbow Railways, who collectively sell a variety of new and second-hand stock, scenic materials and railway books.
The N-gauge society and the Model Electronics Railway Group (MERG) will also be in attendance with demonstrations. This means that the Edinburgh Model Railway Exhibition is sure to be a fun day out for collectors, enthusiasts, and families alike, with something on offer for all ages and interests. There will even be a chance to operate one of the layouts yourself thanks to the Dundee Model Railway Club, who will be bringing Dain’s Yard: a small layout to allow you to practise your shunting skills.
The venue is fully accessible for all and there will be an on-site café serving a selection of hot and cold food and drinks to allow you to make this a great day out. There will also be a raffle with over £400 worth of models from Rapido Trains UK as prizes, with the star prize being a Great Eastern Railway tram pack – will you be the lucky winner? The prototype was the inspiration for Toby the Tram Engine in the books about Thomas the Tank Engine: a character known to millions.
Advanced tickets can be purchased on-line at a discounted price through https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/elmrc until 31st May 2024.
