It’s all systems go for the 10th Annual Model Railway Exhibition being organised by the Rotary Club of Newton Aycliffe at the Youth Centre, Burn Lane, Newton Aycliffe DL5 4HT (opp Tesco) on Saturday 9th March from 10am to 5pm.
Entry costs £5 for adults, £4 for concessions and 50p for children. There are family tickets available at £10.
This year’s event will be better than ever with at least 20 layouts booked for the event ranging from “n” to “0” scales representing locations from the UK and Europe. Of special interest will be a new European “TT” scale layout and for the very young, a self-drive Thomas and Friends layout from Shildon Model Railway Club.
Traders will be well represented with 10 stands selling new and pre-owned model railway items along with die-cast models, scenery, photographs and books. Four full size preservation societies will be lending their support while other enthusiasts will be manning a tombola stall and serving refreshments.
Free parking is available at St Mary’s RC Church just yards from the event, there is full disabled access, all day refreshments are available and a family tombola.
Proceeds from the exhibition will be shared between Heel and Toe and The Railway Children.
