Manchester Exhibition 2019 Here is a selection of my photos taken on the Saturday, not the best, I’m afraid as a lot of the layouts were very busy and hard to get close to. It seems the GMRC has had quite an effect as there certainly were lots of families in attendance. https://live.staticflickr.com...

John, when you post photos use the link that you are presently using but first click on the "img" icon at the top of the post (it's a few places further to the right of the bold/italic/underscore stuff). Paste the image link (which should end in .jpg) in the middle, thus: [img]xxxxx.jpg[/...

I enjoyed the show again, every year I say to myself "never again" and then get persuaded to go and find it really is worth it! This was pretty spectacular modelling (behind the Scalefour soc stand); https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49115714438_1d19da0a0b_b.jpg The NEC (North East Corri...

Thanks, Guys! That's very kind remarks, I/we really appreciate it. SR Man - If your friends/cousins couldn't put you up, I'd happily step in (but we'd have to talk German/European model railways!!) Bufferstop - well, same to you, of course! (Not sure you'd appreciate the chatter though!?!) Cheers, J...

THE Christmas Model Railway Show – Manchester 7th & 8th December 2019! Is by no means the biggest in the exhibition calendar, but we believe it is one of the best. Its unique city centre location means that access from all over the country is easy and also makes us environmentally friendly, sin...

The Manchester Model Railway Society tries to be a bit different when it stages its annual exhibition.
