Newbury College
The annual exhibition of the Newbury Model Railway club was held on Saturday 9th February
at the Newbury College.
There were eleven layouts including three club layouts being displayed along with a variety of traders providing
interest for both families looking for a fun day out and those with a keen
interest in railways and model railways.
Club Stand
We also had a club stand for the first time informing visitors of what we do at the club along
with information and photographs of all our club layouts and current projects.
Although visitor numbers were slightly down on last year, there was a very good attendance
and feedback from visitors was very positive.
'OO' and 'O' Gauge Circles
This year we decided it would make a good display to bring both our circle layouts and place
them one inside the other to allow visitors to view trains of both 'OO' and 'O' gauge running side
by side.
Shame I forgot to take any pictures other than this one while we were setting up in the morning. Oh well, maybe next year.
This year's exhibition was the very first outing of the Exdale Light Railway layout
complete with its newly finished extension.
You can view more pictures of Exdale taken at the exhibition in the galleries section.
East Lynn
We had eight visiting layouts this year and many people commented on the high standard of all these layouts.
You can view a selection of pictures taken of the various guest layouts at the exhibition this year in the galleries section.
First Prize Winner
We ran a raffle this year and congratulations go to the Stevens family for winning the main
prize of a Roco Digital Starter Set.
And finally a big thank you to the exhibitors, the traders, the staff at the Newbury College,
the members of the Newbury Model Railway Club and most of all the general public who
visited our exhibition.
As always, we hope to see you all next year!
